This is the first sitting of state parliament since the shocking and untimely death of the coach of the Adelaide Football Club, Phil Walsh, on the 3rd of this month. As this is the first sitting of our parliament since his passing, I thought it appropriate to make some comments of condolence at this time. Walsh's death has had a profound impact upon South Australians, given both the shock of the death and its circumstances as well as the stature and respect of the man.
Walsh was born in Hamilton, Victoria, and played 122 games in the VFL for the clubs of Collingwood, Richmond and Brisbane. He was the inaugural winner of the Brisbane Bears best and fairest medal in 1987. Following his playing career, he started his off-field football career at Geelong, before being appointed assistant coach at Port Adelaide, where he was part of the successful 2004 premiership team. He later worked as an assistant at West Coast Eagles before returning once again to Port Adelaide.
In October last year, the Adelaide Football Club appointed Walsh as its senior coach. That was to be the seventh club he had worked with in the AFL. After 20 years in coaching, and 32 years since he first pulled on the boots to play at Victoria Park, he finally received the call-up to lead the club himself. The reasons he was appointed were clear: the universal respect he had, as somebody who had a great strategic mind for football and someone who always put the team first in the search for success. Over the nine months working at the Crows, Walsh earned even more respect. On the field during the 12 games he coached, the team improved significantly and worked together in unison towards a shared strategy. Off the field, there was strong camaraderie amongst the players and excitement from the fans.
When tragedy happened on the morning of 3 July, there was shock across the state. While most football fans, myself included, had never met Phil Walsh, we still felt profound grief given that he was a part of our daily lives through television, radio, newspapers and the internet. We saw that grief and respect for Phil Walsh displayed in some extraordinary ways in the days that followed.
On that very morning, South Australians—whether they were Crows fans, Power fans, or some not fans of football at all—started arriving at the Adelaide Football Club headquarters at West Lakes with bouquets of flowers, cards, football scarves and jumpers to leave as a mark of respect. Within the week, thousands of people had visited leaving a huge shrine.
Australians also left football scarves outside their homes, not just in the state but around the country. As I doorknocked my electorate in the coming weeks, I saw these on many streets throughout the south. There were some emotional tributes at football games held subsequently, not just at the AFL level but also amateur leagues, including junior football games. The silent tributes by both teams that started with the Hawthorn and Collingwood game will be forever remembered as one of the most emotional football moments ever.
He was a devoted father, husband, son and brother. He was a much-loved uncle, brother ‑in ‑law and cousin, and a close friend, mentor and colleague to so many.
It's not even just that he's a high profile person, it's just absolutely terrible when families are torn apart in such tragic circumstances. For any family, regardless of who it is, [this is] one of the worst things you could imagine that could happen to you.
I am sure the thoughts of all members of parliament will be with Phil's wife Meredith, his family, friends and colleagues at this very difficult time. | 2019-04-20T10:10:04 | https://www.chrispicton.com.au/philwalsh |
In 2005, The Illinois Justice Project (then part of Chicago Metropolis 2020) along with other advocate groups, worked to separate the Youth Division from the adult functions of the Illinois Department of Corrections and to create a new Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice (IDJJ). After about 18 months of policy design and work with the General Assembly and the Governor’s Office, the new IDJJ was created.
IDJJ leadership and advocates have helped reduce youth incarceration, with its population going from at its peak at 1700 to over 1200 to under 400. Misdemeanants are no longer admitted to state prisons, and youth who used to be on parole (or aftercare, as it is called when applied to juveniles) until they were 21, regardless of their crime and when it was committed, now are on parole for a period proportionate to their crime. This reduction resulted in the closure of three unneeded prisions. There have been numerous improvements for those youth who are under IDJJ jurisdiction, including expanded aftercare to reduce recidivism and improved educational services.
One of the programs responsible for the drop in juvenile prison population is Juvenile Redeploy Illinois. ILJP participates on the board of Juvenile Redeploy Illinois and helped to established it in 2005. Redeploy Illinois provides a financial incentive to local governments to provide treatment and services for juveniles at the local level and offers an alternative to commitment to a state juvenile prison. The services provided include case management, education assistance, counseling and crisis intervention as determined through an individual needs assessment. ILJP continues to partner with system decision-makers and advocate for the expansion of program sites state-wide, including the establishment of a Redeploy program in Cook County.
The Redeploy Illinois Oversight Board (RIOB) prepares a report to the Governor and the General Assembly on the progress of Redeploy Illinois. These services resulted in 1,793 fewer youth being committed to IDJJ over the program’s first nine years and saving Illinois taxpayers millions of dollars in unnecessary incarceration costs.
Did You Know: Thanks to the Redeploy Illinois program, commitments to the Department of Juvenile Justice have been reduced by 53%, resulting in $88 million cost avoidance for the state of Illinois. St. Clair County reduced prison commitments from 86 to 11 in its first year participating in the program.
Did You Know: After Florida’s Miami–Dade County limited shackling, more than 20,000 youth appeared in court without shackles between the years 2006 and 2011. During that period, no child escaped, nor were any court personnel harmed in an escape attempt.
ILJP provides support for Get IN Chicago, a public/private partnership of corporate sponsors in Chicago. While Get IN faced growing pains in its early days, ILJP joined its Advisory Board as the organization was cataloging what had been learned during its earlier years. Now, Get IN Chicago has announced more than $19 million of funding for new partnerships, technical assistance, and special projects. ILJP continues to participate on the Board to support Get IN Chicago in distributing its funding in a meaningful and impactful way, advocating for strong evaluation of programs and focusing on long-term positive youth outcomes.
Through its early years, Get In learned that organizations delivering services to youth must deliver on five key variables to succeed: (1) recruitment and retention, (2) dosage (3) empowerment of communities (4) capacity and (5) measurement. Without success in these five areas, organizations were likely to underachieve.
ILJP is in direct consultation with the city of Chicago through the Department of Family Support Services and the Chicago Police Department in supporting their efforts to improve the juvenile justice system, using the Juvenile Intervention Service Center (JISC). The purpose of the JISC is to provide services to youth who are arrested and assessed to be more likely to benefit from services than going to trial. They are referred to services from the JISC.
ILJP works to address the over representation of minority youth, especially Black males in the juvenile justice system. ILJP partnered with Adler University, Data Made, Project NIA and City Bureau to develop Justice Divided a website serving as an action-oriented public awareness tool to educate and engage members of the public, particularly those living in communities most impacted by the juvenile justice system, to take action to address systemic disparities in their local communities.
The website includes data regarding the juvenile justice system and the disparate impact the system has on youth of color, particularly Black and Hispanic males. Visitors to the website have an opportunity to walk in the shoes of youth going through the various points of the juvenile justice system and refer visitors to resources to take action on the issue.
ILJP also works very closely with the Disproportionate Minority Contact Workgroup of Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission. The Commission and workgroups are tasked with advising system actors and lawmakers on best practices and funding efforts to bring equality to the system.
Did You Know: 59% of children held in Illinois detention facilities are African-American despite representing less than 20% of the total population. Of all the African-American children held, only 26% are detained for violent offenses.
The report, spearheaded by several of groups, including Northwestern’s Children and Family Justice Center, illustrated that juvenile criminal records are widely accessible despite the popular belief that they are confidential. That accessibility and the difficulty in expunging records have a significant effect on a youth’s ability to secure quality housing, obtain higher education and become gainfully employed.
ILJP advocates for expungement laws to apply more broadly, be automatic and properly implemented, as opposed to the status quo of expungement that is confusing, expensive, unduly limited and that requires particular expertise to complete the process. ILJP provided policy advice on the development of state legislation that expands and automates expungement opportunities for young people with records. In 2017, the General Assembly passed and the Governor signed HB 3817, now Public Act 100-0285, which incorporates much of the policy work and will make Illinois a national leader in juvenile expungement.
Did You Know: Between 2004 and 2014, for every 1,000 juvenile arrests only three records were expunged in Illinois. This is despite the fact that 95.5% of those arrests were nonviolent. There were approximately 1.8 million juvenile arrests in Illinois during that same period.
ILJP staff served on the transition teams of State’s Attorney Kim Foxx and Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center Superintendent Leonard Dixon. In each case, there was an emphasis on the developmental differences of juveniles and also the importance of providing sound and appropriate programming for diversion or for youth who are temporarily incarcerated. | 2019-04-26T05:52:32 | https://www.iljp.org/juvenile-justice |

Born and raised in Guadalajara, Mexico, Xavier Martinez graduated from the Liceo de Varones in Guadalajara in 1890. Moving to San Francisco, he enrolled at the California School of Design (Mark Hopkins Institute of Art), where he studied with Arthur Matthews and graduated with honors in 1897. He then attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, studying with Jean-Léon Gérôme from 1897 to 1899 and with Eugene Carriere in 1900. After returning to San Francisco in 1901, Martinez became an American citizen. His landscape and genre paintings directly reflect his travels to places such as Mexico and the Arizona desert. Martinez taught at the California School (later College) of Arts and Crafts. In addition to participating in numerous group shows, he had solo exhibitions in San Francisco at the Vickery Gallery in 1905 and at the Helgesen Galleries in 1915 (monotypes), and at the California School of Arts and Crafts in Oakland in 1941. Martinez was a founding member of the California Society of Artists (1902) and the California Society of Etchers (1912). | 2019-04-26T04:09:35 | https://americanart.si.edu/artist/xavier-martinez-3144 |

War of the Rebellion: Serial 034 Page 0328 KY., MID. AND E. TENN., N. ALA., AND SW. VA. Chapter XXXV.
forgot to mention that I pressed 4 horses from citizens, to bring my men and prisoners home on, and which I returned. I also gave receipt for all forage, with my name signed. I was compelled to feed on one Union man (Mr. Mahew), near Scottsville, the first night out. He accompanied me to Bowling Green, and I hope the proper vouchers will be given him for his grain. He is true man, and had two sons in our army, one being killed at Shiloh. They were members of the Ninth Kentucky Infantry.

Report of Brigadier General John M. Schofield, U. S. Army.
Triune, May 3 - 9.30 a. m.
COLONEL: My scouts have just returned from Eagleville and near Versailles. Saw only about 60 rebel cavalry; killed 1 and captured 6, with arms and horses. McCann was near Versailles night before last, having been in that vicinity recently.
MAY 5, 1863.- Skirmish at Rover, Tenn.
GENERAL: Lieutenant-Colonel Brownlow, while on a reconnaissance yesterday, charged through a rebel cavalry camp at Rover; lost 2 men and captured 4. I gather from the prisoners captured, and from other sources, that there are six or seven regiments of infantry on Duck River, near Chapel Hill. I hear of no other change in position of rebel troops. | 2019-04-21T08:36:42 | https://ehistory.osu.edu/books/official-records/034/0328 |
Everybody knows what’s wrong with Euro. It’s not even worth posting a link. Okay, here’s one link to FT. Everybody knows what’s wrong with the Euro, and how to fix it. The problem is that the fix is totally unrealistic. Here, we look outside the box for a different solution.
The problem with the Euro is that a common monetary policy does not suit all participants. France could use looser money as stimulus and to monetize some debt. Germany and the northern countries have much less debt and lower bond yields. They don’t need their currency devalued.
Common monetary policy only works if the participants have similar fiscal policy. This is why the Maastricht treaty set limits (which were ignored) on national debt and deficits. France is a deficit country, with debt at 94% of GDP. Germany, at 78%, is a fiscal discipline country.
The popular solution is “ever closer union,” which means taking fiscal policy away from the nation states, with the European Parliament setting the budget for all. There would even be a Europe tax, levied over the heads of national governments, to pay interest on Euro bonds.
This is a swell idea, if you’re the kind of person who prefers giant federal governments to quaint national ones. Unfortunately, about 500 million people suspect an undemocratic plot to disenfranchise them and abridge their national identity.
Furthermore, everyone knew in 1992 that the Euro would not hold together unless the nation states surrendered to European fiscal authority. One could even say that the common currency was a Trojan horse for “ever closer union,” lying in wait for a crisis like 2008.
So, we wondered why the revolutionary governments of Virginia, Georgia, et al., would surrender their monetary independence to the new federal government of the United States in 1787. Surely, the democratic impulse was at least as strong in early America as in modern Europe.
Indeed, the currency trap has operated in America exactly as it is operating in Europe, with the states subordinated to federal policy. It took almost two hundred years, though, for monetary policy to be invented.
This brings us to our iconoclastic solution for the Euro. Peg it to gold, or – since gold is a barbarous relic – palladium. Instead of a Euro budget to mesh with monetary policy, take the power entirely out of federal hands. Think of the management effort that would be saved.
No one could whine about fiscal discipline dictated by Germany. Once the peg were set, discipline would come from the bond market. National leaders would have full responsibility for their own budgets, and no excuses. | 2019-04-26T04:31:31 | https://jeremiah757.wordpress.com/2014/10/ |

My research takes inspiration from four theoretical perspectives: predictive models of allostasis and interoception, lifespan development theory, constructionist theories of the mind, and affect-as-information theory.
"The core task of all brains ... is to regulate the organism's internal milieu ... by anticipating needs and preparing to satisfy them before they arise." (Sterling & Laughlin, 2015, Principles of Neural Design, p. xvi). This is one of the foundational ideas behind allostasis--that the brain exists to fundamentally manage the body's resources and respond to environmental challenges. Allostasis is more than just regulating bodily systems around a set point (i.e., homeostasis). It is dynamic and predictive, meaning that the brain must first acquire and then constantly fine-tune its predictive models about incoming internal and external stimuli. These predictive models, as a fundamental part of allostasis, anticipate possible challenges to psychological and physiological regulation by drawing on prior knowledge and environmental cues. The predictive nature of allostasis forms the core of many modern theories on interoception (e.g., Barrett & Simmons, 2015; Fotopoulou & Tsakiris, 2017; Friston, 2010; Seth, 2013). Other work on the "Bayesian brain" demonstrates that much of sensory, linguistic, and conceptual development from infancy is rooted in "statistical learning" and that the brain and mind process stimuli via probabilistic, situated predictions.
Since Piaget, developmental psychology was dominated by a focus on early life. More recently, Baltes and others emphasize the importance of understanding processes across the whole lifespan from womb to tomb (ontogenesis). If we only study a given phenomenon in healthy young university students (and for that matter, in WEIRD samples), this limits, even distorts the scientific inferences we can make. Thus, any field is incomplete if it does not also consider ontogenesis. Taking interoception as an example, the lifespan approach argues that we should care about three different aspects of development: (1) generalizable commonalities shared across individuals in development (e.g., how we all develop interoception), (2) inter-individual differences in development (e.g., some people, due to epigenetics, socialization, and different life experiences, develop better or poorer interoception), and (3) intraindividual plasticity in development (e.g., interoception may change across the lifespan, either as part of typical aging in the body and brain, or due to the accumulation of other life events and practices, such as high self control, mindfulness, disordered eating, a traumatic event, chronic stress, depression, etc.). Thus, in my own work, I always catch myself thinking about variation ... be it individual differences, developmental differences, or even cross-cultural differences.
When I was an undergraduate debating whether I wanted to become a psychologist, linguist, or anthropologist, I stumbled across Barrett's 2006 paper on the "emotion paradox" which laid the groundwork for a modern constructionist account of emotions. Modern constructionist theories, such as the Theory of Constructed Emotion, generally hypothesize that all mental events including emotions arise from the dynamic coaction of more basic "core" networks in the brain. These core networks give rise to several key psychological processes--such as affect (valence/arousal, rooted in allostasis and interoception), knowledge from prior experiences and shared culture, and executive functions such as attentional control, in turn together creating within- and between-person variability in emotions and other mental states. The constructionist approach seeks to explain the myriad variation in human experience and behavior, while still building generalizable findings. This approach is also data-driven, supported by numerous meta-analyses summarizing across literatures such as neuroimaging and psychophysiology. I adopted this theoretical approach because it marries together predictive models of allostasis and interoception with an emphasis on variation--be it individual, developmental, or cross-cultural. Beyond the theoretical inspiration of constructionist models, this interdisciplinary approach allows me to study humans as complex systems transecting multiple levels of analysis, from hormones and the gut microbiome, to peripheral psychophysiology and the brain, and beyond to the mind, behavior, and environment. My hope is that this multi-method approach will generate new insights that these methods on their own could not identify.
Across history and cultures, humans have long discussed whether feelings help us navigate the world around us, like a compass, or if they lead us astray. Affect-as-information theory is a variant on this idea--that we use our feelings to inform our perceptions and behaviors about the world around us, especially when we are not paying attention to said feelings. There is no "good" or "bad" to affect-as-information per se--sometimes our affective feelings are useful heuristics, other times they might lead us astray. I was first inspired by this theory when researching how people become hangry as part of my masters thesis. In a series of experiments, we found that hunger doesn't just automatically make people angrier. Context (mood congruence) and where someone's attention or awareness is directed (internal vs. external) can make all the difference. Affect-as-information theory resonates with some of the core predictions of allostasis / interoception and constructionist theories. To truly understand how the body can bottom-up shape emotions and social cognition, affect-as-information could be a useful framework to reveal how allostasis, as the root of feelings, can interact with different situations and attentional foci to drive attributions and perceptions. Also related to the idea that interoception can drive intuitive decision-making. | 2019-04-25T19:49:23 | https://jkmaccormack.com/theoretical-inspirations |
I found some time this week to play with new product from the upcoming 2016/2017 Stampin' Up! Annual catalogue, due for release 1st June. I know!! Just a wee bit longer to wait before you get your hands on it! Of course, if you are a demonstrator who attended an Onstage event recently, you already have yours!! If you live in New Zealand and would like a copy, I would love to send you one when I get my pre-order mid-May. Request your copy HERE.
Now it's time to play with Freshly Made Sketches #234! When I saw this sketch, I loved the simplicity of it. I don't normally do simple projects, so this was quite a challenge for me.
With a new catalogue comes new Hostess only sets and this adorable set is called Pun Intended. I love it!! The image and sentiment I chose are clean and simple, so I wanted to do a plain water colour wash background with two of our new In Colours - Flirty Flamingo and Peek-a-boo Peach - with So Saffron thrown in to the mix.
A very CAS card for me, but I do love how it turned out. I hope you do too!
If you live in New Zealand, I would love to be your Demonstrator. When you shop Online with me, please allow Demonstrator contact, so I can thank you properly with the gift of a card when you place an order.
It's that time again - colour challenge time! - at Global Design Project this week and we have a beauty for you.
Remember the framelit story a few posts ago? It eventually had a happy ending when my replacement order arrived. I could finally play with the framelit set I had put off getting for so long, but was now desperate to use! And play with them, I did!!
Anyway, I am always looking for new ways to use stamp sets for something other than what they were perhaps intended. The sentiments in Balloon Celebration lend themselves to other topics other than just birthdays and celebrations and I put together the perfect sentiment for my coffee card! However, this sentiment, other than the word "coffee", is stacked in three lines, so I masked and stamped each line separately so the sentiment was in one line along the bottom of my card. But it was worth the effort!
I would love for you to join in with us this week for this great colour challenge. The team have some beautiful projects to share with you too, so head over to Global Design Project and check them out! | 2019-04-19T03:31:35 | http://stampinantics.blogspot.com/2016/04/ |

APHONIC THRENODY is not what you can call your average band. With various members spread over four different countries and two continents, this now six-headed beast would actually rather label themselves doom collective'.
What was started off initially in London in late 2012 by guitarist Riccardo Veronese from GALLOW GOD and vocalist Rob Mura from URNA was quickly joined by a myriad of musicians from Italy, Hungary or the UK, with extra prestigious guests such as Jarno from SHAPE OF DESPAIR and Greg from ESOTERIC to boot.
Based on those names alone, you kind of know from the get-go in what kind of dreaded territories you're about to enter, desolate doom/death soundscapes verging on funeral doom where the words pic' and ournful' doesn't even start to cover it all.
Due on October 31st, hen Death Comes' is their first proper full-length and first for DOOMENTIA and according to Rob Mura, "it's an important step up for us as Doomentia is one of the most acclaimed doom metal labels worldwide.
And for us, being an international project, this is an amazing thing! We all come from different bands and backgrounds and once you get such great people interested in your music it makes you feel you're moving in the right direction." Indeed, in less than two years, their progression from their previous debut EP or splits with ENNUI (Georgia) and FROWNING (Germany) to this will have left many doom bands eating dust.
They started working on the album in summer 2013 and none of the five tracks are below the eleven minutes mark, with "Death Obsession" pushing it as far as 18 minutes! But this album ain't just about pushing funeral doom as far as possible but more about adding to the genre intricate arrangements, an almost progressive vibe and a strong cinematic element.
Talking of which, the band has worked with Dutch visual artist Jérôme Siegelaer, who has worked before with such estimate leftfield artists such as ENSLAVED or THE DEVIL'S BLOOD' Selim Lemouchi, to create a video for "Death Obsession".
And its bleakness yet stark beauty matches the one displayed on what is, by far, their strongest set to date whose superb gatefold LP art was designed in collaboration with 13th SIGN.
Further proof that APHONIC THRENODY ain't your typical doom/death and that When Death Comes' ain't your regular album either. | 2019-04-25T16:37:48 | https://www.cargo-records.de/de/item/79808/katalog_art.75.html |
PM Modi also dedicated the International Rice Research Institute's South Asia Regional Centre (ISARC) campus to the nation during his bried visit to the city. The ISARC will serve as a hub for rice research and training in South Asia.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday inaugurated 15 projects worth over Rs 180 crore in his parliamentary constituency Varanasi.
PM Modi also dedicated the International Rice Research Institute's South Asia Regional Centre (ISARC) campus to the nation during his bried visit to the city.
The ISARC will serve as a hub for rice research and training in South Asia.
Later addressing a gathering, Modi said the institute will help farmers of the region to develop varieties of paddy which grow in minimum water and have low sugar content and high nutritional value.
The centre is expected to play a major role in harnessing and sustaining rice production in the region, he said.
India's association with the IRRI dates back to the 1960s, and Modi was the first Indian PM to visit IRRI headquarters in Manila, Philippines in November 2017, during which he discussed agricultural innovations and research advances in the rice sector.
On the day, Modi also went to Bada Lalpur area of the city to attend the 'One District, One Product' Regional Summit at Deendayal Hastakala Sankul where he interacted with weavers and artisans.
One District One Product scheme is aimed at enhancing the skills of local people and increasing the reach of the indigenous trades, crafts and products from small towns and districts in the state.
These include handicrafts, food processing, engineering goods, carpets, ready-made clothes, leather goods, etc., which not only earn foreign exchange but also provide employment to the people, the prime minister said.
The prime minister laid the foundation stone for the 14 new development projects at an estimate of Rs 98 crore. | 2019-04-22T00:55:49 | https://www.indiatvnews.com/news/india-pm-modi-in-varanasi-prime-minister-inaugurates-15-projects-worth-over-rs-180-crore-dedicates-irri-s-south-asia-regional-centre-to-nation-496163 |
It’s been a summer of festivals. Follyfest, SappyFest, Evolve, Dooryard, Mestival, Future Forest and the list goes on forever. Yes, the season is over, but that doesn’t mean we can’t reminisce about those nights before the school load kicks in. We would need a whole issue to review them all, so we could only pick one, but a wicked good one at that.
A particular field in a particular place. That place being Antigonish, N.S.. For the last several years, this field has become home to the biggest music festival on the East Coast: Evolve.
By Thursday evening there were clusters of cars zooming around the quiet town, looking for a dirt farm road which leads the way to this sought-after field. Attendees know they have arrived upon spotting an older waving couple with an ‘Evolve this way’ sign nailed to their porch.
It’s like you’ve just stumbled onto Christmas Island. Before you can even unbuckle that constraining seatbelt, you’re already anticipating a great time.
Soon, the moon and the stars are shining like mad as speakers and turn tables appear out of nowhere. A sea of face-painted kids groove to an anonymous D.J.
Meanwhile, a stuffed monkey hovers over the crowd and a wolf-man in an Oiler’s jacket howls along the outskirts of the jittering mob. The rest of the night is filled with tight embraces from long-lost friends, perfect strangers or the people you just rode down with.
Friday morning brings saggy wet clouds, but this appears to have little effect on everyone’s pumped up spirits. For some, plastic yellow ponchos come out while others strip down to their bathing suits as we all lug tents, coolers and blankets up a hill the size of Windsor street.
After all that climbing, it was time to party. And so began the bouncing noises of a didgeridoo to be heard by all. Upon hearing those tubular hoots, we all knew it was time for one of the weekend’s headliners, Xavier Rudd.
An excited screech came from forever away and continued all the way down the hill to the Sunflower stage where three didgeridoos were placed on a stand. Xavier Rudd held his guitar while his bare feet banged a stomp-box. An assortment of drums, banjos and harmonicas kick in as the crowd gravitates closer.
Within 15 minutes even the most self-conscious dancers were raving like madmen. Hula hoopers twirled on the side-lines, while well-known live painter Sharon Epic started another fan favourite.
Dancers dispersed to sit down while others begged for one more song. One more song turned into one more set as Xavier Rudd dismantled and A Tribe Called Red plugged in. The three hoodie wearing guys took over the place with their unique sound which has been dubbed “powwow electronic” – a mash up of Native tribal beats and house music.
Somewhere in the midst of the non-stop music and costumed dancers, the sun began to peek through and as with the night before, the crowd mumbled off into light-hearted conversations and a short nap in a makeshift bed.
The next few days of Evolve were reminiscent of the first two and the weather turned hot and clear. People headed down to the river to lazily wade and lap up some free refreshments from the fresh spring which flowed nearby.
Soon, all of the big acts had come and gone. Classified, Keys N Krates, Skratch Bastid, Scientists of Sounds and slews of others had provided a great weekend. But the time had come to take down those mangled tent poles and pack up for another year.
Evolve isn’t the biggest or most impressive music festival around. In fact it’s small and tight-knit, but it’s that same atmosphere which brings people back each year. This is just one man’s opinion though and everyone is free to their proper perceptions. So, for next year, you’ll just have to discover your own Evolve. | 2019-04-25T03:59:25 | http://theaquinian.net/afterthoughts-from-a-festival-ridden-summer/ |

OK, I'll reply then. Yes, I agree with most of what you said, perhaps with the exception of the 'built like tanks' bit - no, really neither of them are. The failure rate hasn't really to do with 'being built like tanks' but with detail failures of bits and pieces that have nothing to do with tank-like build but with component sourcing and QA. I think this is where Canon's iterative product policy pays dividends, even though Canon fans moan about it. There is rarely a Canon camera which is not just a development of the one before it, and so most of the designs and parts are thoroughly shaken down. Take for instance the D600 and 6D. The D600 is a brand new camera, every bit of it is new. The 6D is a rework of the 5DII, the design of which goes back to the EOS-30. Similarly, the D7000 was completely new. The D300 was not, it was mostly a D2X, and the 7D was mostly a 50D. Designing things that are completely new is always a risk. Sometimes it goes OK, but others it really doesn't. I think Nikon's other recent problem is that having had two plants destroyed, they are bringing new products to market before they are ready. In retrospect, Canon's delay on the 1D X was probably wise. If they had released it with bugs, it would have been a disaster. | 2019-04-25T06:17:14 | https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/50963929 |

Finding that the police used ilegal wiretaps, a Supreme Court, justice has ordered a new trial for three men who got terms up to 25 years on charges of bribery and of oper ating a heroin processing “fac tory” in the Bronx.
The reversal culminates a three‐year legal battle by Her bert S. Siegal, defense attorney.
According to Mr. Siegal, the police lied in alleging that their case was built on information from an informer rather than from weeks of unauthorized wiretapping.
Harold Munger, 1311 Burke Avenue; Gerald Hartley; 2332 Tiebout Avenue, and Saint Julian Harrison, 1000 East 215th Street.
A United States Supreme Court ruling a few years ago knocked the main props from under the state's wiretapping law. Legal sources said yester day that the taps in the Bronx case were illegal primarily be cause no “probable cause of crime being committed” had been established prior to their use.
The so‐called heroin “factory” was in a three‐and‐a‐half room apartment at 2020 Arthur‐Ave nue in the Bronx. Narcotics agents who raided the premises in 1966 told of a “factory” oper ation with men and women at work “cutting,” or diluting, pure heroin and putting it in glassine enyelopes for sale on the street.
They reported that 26.4 pounds of pure heroin were seized, enough when “cut” to provide more than a half‐million injections.
“There was enough heroin there to supply all the addicts in the United States for a week.” In rounding up Munger, Hart ley and Harrison as the leaders of the ring, narcotics agents also reported receiving a $20, 221 bribe from Munger, and that money was exhibited along with the heroin at the original trial.
Mr. Siegal carried his fight about the wiretap to the Court of Appeals after being rebuffed at the first trial in Bronx Su preme Court and after the Ap pellate Division had affirmed the convictions.
After presenting an applica tion to Stanley H. Fuld, chief judge of the Court of Appeals, he was permitted to argue be fore the state's highest court. As a result, the Court of Ap peals ordered the case returned to Bronx Supreme Court for hearing that lasted eight weeks on Mr. Siegal's cha'rge that the police lied about how they got information on the defendants.
According to Mr. Siegal, the police committed perjury when they said in an affidavit that an informer had given them the information upon which they applied a search warrant that preceded the raid on the Arthur Avenue apartment.
At the trial, the District At torney based his case on reputed informant, and Mr. Siegal's effort to have the tapes produced was blocked.
During the wiretap hearings, about 50 tapes of telephone conversations were produced, and played back. Mr. Siegal argued that the prosecution had originally tried to conceal the existence of the tapes.
Justice Marks noted in his decision that the District Attor ney at the outset of the hear ings conceded the illegality of the wiretaps. The burden was then on the prosecution to show that the wiretap informa tion did not lead to any of the evidence used in the trial, he said. | 2019-04-24T06:14:48 | https://www.nytimes.com/1970/01/02/archives/retrial-for-3-in-heroin-factory-case-is-ordered.html |

July 2015 I wrote 136 words on this topic, hoping that the image alone would get some traction. It was a pretty insane image to a numbers geek like me – linked here.
Perhaps this 381 words worth will garner more attention.
This months Visa images are tamer, as a business card the monthly total can be significant during busy months. Yes I pay the balance to zero each month, in fact I appear to actually over pay it some months (so deep is my fear of credit card interest).
108 years and 7 months!
Particle board furniture we fill the home with?
The vacation we could not afford to take?
A night of bottle service hitting up the clubs (yo!)?
99.63% of CDN’s never miss a mortgage payment. There is no mortgage crisis to repair.
Can the same be said about this form of debt though?
In fact in some cases one can qualify for this kind of debt without even being alive, or even being an actual human being.
So I ask again: Where is the real debt problem in our country?
Why is our government not asking this question?
Why is our government intent on trying to fix a problem that does no exist?
Canada is not the USA, and policy should not be set based on Netflix analysis.
The recent changes made to mortgage lending will in fact do the most damage to lower middle class households, the ones already most susceptible to 108 year 7 month loans.

Hey sailors, long time no see..... After 4 years of Jolla 1 and a nearly 1y (not-so-happy) comeback to Android, I am planning my comeback to SailfishX/3 right now. However, I am not sure which devices are supported by SailfishX at the moment and will be in future. I've seen different statements by TJC users regarding that, but they are partially contradictory or assumptive, and might be outdated.
From what I read, my understanding is that there is support for Xperia X single and dual sim, and there will be (soon?) support for Xperia XA2. But what about e.g. Xperia X compact? Will it work, too? Any other models/brands to consider? Will SF3 bring support for other devices?
Officially supported devices are Xperia X F5121 and F5122. There has been promised official support for Xperia XA2.
All other devices are possibly supported by the community, and SailfishOS functionality is limited. More info here.
More detailed topic on devices, history included, you can find here.
Thanks for your response. So it's really just Xperia X with single and dual SIM for now (no other Xperia X*). And probably XA2 in the near future, for the patient ones. | 2019-04-25T09:00:48 | https://together.jolla.com/question/189889/which-xperia-x-devices-are-supported-by-sailfish-x/?sort=votes |
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is committed to providing equal opportunity to students with disabilities to allow full participation in all services and programs. As required under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the following are the responsibilities of the Disability Services staff, faculty, and students in making a reasonable effort to provide appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities at MIT.
The Disability Services staff is responsible for ensuring that MIT meets its obligation to provide access to individuals with disabilities. The Disability Services staff works with faculty, students, staff, programs and departments to develop and implement MIT's compliance strategies and plans. The Disability Services staff monitors and mediates conflicts concerning the direct delivery of services to students. The Disability Services staff is responsible for working with faculty, staff, students, programs and other departments at MIT, as well as external resources and services, to provide direct delivery of aids, services and academic adjustments to students with disabilities. The Disability Services staff reviews student documentation, determines appropriate accommodations, and works with faculty regarding the provision of accommodations to students.
The faculty are responsible for working with Disability Services to ensure students are provided "meaningful access." Primarily, this involves working with the student and Disability Services to assure the provision of reasonable accommodations. Faculty play an important role by helping to determine whether requests compromise classroom academic standards and assisting in implementing reasonable accommodation requests. Faculty members should direct all questions/concerns regarding accommodations for students with disabilities to Disability Services.
Students with disabilities are responsible for providing to the Disability Services staff documentation that identifies their specific disability, describes their functional limitations, and lists the requested accommodations.
The documentation and accommodation request must be provided in a timely manner so Disability Services has reasonable time to review the request and coordinate accommodations. Students are responsible for following the Institute's procedures for requesting and receiving accommodations, academic adjustments, and auxiliary aids and services. | 2019-04-23T03:10:39 | http://studentlife.mit.edu/sds/students/responsibilities-involved-providing-accommodations |

In life, nobody knows what's in store for them. Over time, I've learned to be prepared for anything, good or bad because at the end of the day, you really don't know what's around the corner. Although, that can be a little scary, it's what makes life exciting. When I started my blog back in November 2010, I was going through a really tough time. I've had a really difficult few years due to illness and now that that period of my life is over, I'm ready to start a new chapter. I have so many exciting things going on at the moment which I can't wait to tell you all about and many of these opportunities have come my way thanks to this blog. I've become a lot stronger through experiencing what I have and can't wait for the future!
So, aside from my ramblings, this is what I donned on Wednesday for a meeting re: the blog (Can't wait to let you all know what's in store!). I'll be posting a more detailed post over the coming days so stay tuned for that.
Also, I've finally gotten around to making myself an instagram account - on my Mom's iPhone. Kinda sad, I know. But until I get an iPhone of my own, it'll have to do. So to keep up with my everyday life, follow @hannahhawkshaw. I'm planning on taking lots of photos tomorrow as I'm going to a studio to record an original song!
The quote. and the text are great! All the best!

Taking the MVD permit test in Arizona does not have to be challenging. Using this study guide, and taking the permit practice test will help make the process easy.
Driving rules are similar across the nation; however, each state tends to have a few unique laws. Before taking a driver's test, young drivers in Arizona should study the Arizona Driver’s License Manual and become familiar with each of the important driving rules required of licensed drivers.
The state of Arizona permit test is delivered on a computer with a touch-screen. Test takers must obtain a score of at least 80 percent to pass the written exam. The test has 30 questions, so at least 24 questions must be answered correctly. Each of the questions is in multiple choice format.
The test questions will cover everything from rules of the road, to road signs and vehicle safety. Test takers should expect to be tested on a variety of driving-related topics such as the meaning of certain road signs and the appropriate measures to take in different situations.
Section 2: Safe Driving Practices. For example you should know tips such as it is recommended to use your turn signal for 4 seconds before turning.
Section 3 which offers details on Roadway and Vehicle Knowledge. Pay special attention to knowing the road signs and pavement markings on pages 33-38. For example you will have to know the meaning of signs by their shape for the test.
Section 5 contains important strategies such as regulating following distance for avoiding crashes. You should also know the alcohol and driving rules on pages 46-47 and pages 50-52.
Note that in its practice tests, the state suggests that more than one answer might be correct. The correct choice might be the best answer rather than the only answer.
The state manual provides a sample test within its driving manual on page 56.
After studying the manual, it is a good idea to take our permit practice test to check your knowledge before paying to take the test at the MVD. | 2019-04-26T01:47:20 | https://www.permit-tests.com/arizona/mvd-permit-study-guide |
There’s a branch in philosophy called “epistemology” that deals with the theory of knowledge.
How do we know what we know? How do we know what is true? What is believable? And what are the criteria we use to tell whether something is true or not?
With his constant refrain of “fake news,” maybe President Donald Trump should enroll in such a course. Why? Because he’s focusing on issues and creating entities that don’t correspond to real problems.
Trump is guilty of not knowing the different between real problems and fake problems. For example, consumer fraud is real, yet Trump is attempting to gut or eliminate the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
By contrast, voter fraud is virtually nonexistent, according to all credible studies, but he has put together a so-called Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity to find it.
How should we judge whether his voter fraud commission is legitimate or not?
What’s the purpose of establishing the commission?
Trump argues that our state-based election systems are full of voter fraud, and that’s why he lost the popular vote. However, Republican and Democratic secretaries of state, those who oversee the election process, have aggressively disputed his claim.
Many believe the commission was established to “prove” that Trump is right – that he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by nearly 3 million votes because there were up to 5 million illegal votes cast for Clinton.
The commission’s first act was to send a letter to all 50 secretaries of state, plus the District of Columbia, requesting voter data on every American, including such sensitive personal information as home address, party affiliation, age, voting history, military status, criminal record (if any) and partial Social Security numbers.
Most states refused to comply, objecting to sending it over nonsecure connections without the ability to protect it. Others had concerns about centralizing such information, and there was no clearly stated purpose of how the information would be used.
Some feared the commission would use “Crosscheck,” a system with a history of carelessly matching voters’ names between states and deleting one as a duplicate.
The Justice Department also sent a letter demanding to know how states were going to “clean up” their voting lists – code for deleting voters, a practice used in the past in racially discriminatory ways.
Currently there are 10 members – six Republicans and four Democrats. Vice President Mike Pence is the chair and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is the co-chair.
The commission’s members make up a rogues’ gallery and a “dream team” of voter suppression.
Pence was governor of Indiana and used “voter fraud” to support a statewide crackdown on registering African-Americans. He supported the 2005 Supreme Court decision that found an Indiana voter ID law constitutional. He supports Trump’s false claim that millions voted illegally.
Kris Kobach is known as the “King of Voter Suppression,” a reputation he has earned by disenfranchising one in seven Kansans and by spreading his Crosscheck system to states nationwide.
Another Republican commission member, Ohio’s former Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, shortchanged African-American voting sites of an adequate number of voting machines, resulting in long lines. He also tried to disenfranchise voters by insisting that all voter registration forms be rejected if they were submitted on paper thinner than a postcard. He was the subject of 14 lawsuits regarding election irregularities.
Republican commission member Hans von Spakovsky was a Justice Department official in the Civil Rights Division under President George W. Bush and strongly argued against reauthorizing the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
Connie Lawson, Indiana’s secretary of state, is proud of having co-written her state’s voter ID law that spread nationwide, even though the law has since suffered federal judicial defeats in Texas and Wisconsin (2011), and in North Carolina and North Dakota (2013).
It seems obvious the real purpose of the commission is twofold: to validate Trump’s claim he would have won the popular vote in 2016 if not for illegal voters, and to lay the groundwork for nationalizing voter suppression legislation, making it more difficult for people of color, women, workers, young people, seniors and the disabled – traditional Democratic constituencies – to vote.
Conclusion? The fraud commission is fraudulent! | 2019-04-20T08:47:33 | http://daytonatimes.com/2017/08/03/the-voter-fraud-commission-itself-is-fraudulent/ |

ALA is not as active in the body and must be converted to two other forms of omega-3 fatty acids — eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) — to bestow the same health benefits (4).
Unfortunately, your body’s ability to convert ALA is limited. Only about 5% of ALA is converted to EPA, while less than 0.5% is converted to DHA (5).
Additionally, keep in mind your omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, as a diet low in omega-3s but high in omega-6s can increase inflammation and your risk of disease (6).
One study found that consuming a diet with chia seeds, nopal, soy protein and oats decreased blood triglycerides, glucose intolerance and inflammatory markers (7).
A 2007 animal study also found that eating chia seeds decreased blood triglycerides and increased both “good” HDL cholesterol and omega-3 levels in the blood (8).
In fact, one study found that an increased intake of cruciferous vegetables is associated with a 16% lower risk of heart disease (11).
Algal oil, a type of oil derived from algae, stands out as one of the few vegan sources of both EPA and DHA (14).
One study compared algal oil capsules to cooked salmon and found that both were well tolerated and equivalent in terms of absorption (15).
In fact, a recent animal study found that supplementing mice with a DHA algal oil compound led to an improvement in memory (16).
Most commonly available in softgel form, algal oil supplements typically provide 400–500 mg of combined DHA and EPA. Generally, it is recommended to get 300–900 mg of combined DHA and EPA per day (17).
They may do this by preventing the formation of blood clots and helping the heart recover after a heart attack (20, 21).
Walnuts are loaded with healthy fats and ALA omega-3 fatty acids. In fact, walnuts are comprised of about 65% fat by weight (23).
A 2011 animal study found that eating walnuts was associated with improvements in learning and memory (24).
Another animal study showed walnuts caused significant improvements in memory, learning, motor development and anxiety in mice with Alzheimer’s disease (25).
Both flaxseeds and flaxseed oil have been shown to reduce cholesterol in multiple studies (27, 28, 29).
Another study found that flaxseeds could help significantly lower blood pressure, particularly in those with high blood pressure (30).
One study in 20 elderly participants replaced soybean oil with perilla oil and found that it caused ALA levels in the blood to double. In the long term, it also led to an increase in EPA and DHA blood levels (32).
Perilla oil is very rich in omega-3 fatty acids, with ALA making up an estimated 64% of this seed oil (33).
To maximize its health benefits, perilla oil should be used as a flavor enhancer or dressing, rather than a cooking oil. This is because oils high in polyunsaturated fats can oxidize with heat, forming harmful free radicals that contribute to disease (34). | 2019-04-23T11:53:53 | https://nutritiontalk.com/the-7-best-plant-sources-of-omega-3-fatty-acids/ |
If a municipal ordinance requires property owners to remove snow and ice from sidewalks abutting their property, are the property owners then liable for injuries which result from a failure to remove snow or ice from a sidewalk?
No. Although a municipality can by ordinance require property owners to remove snow and ice from sidewalks abutting their property, the long-standing rule in Wisconsin is that maintenance of a municipal sidewalk is a non-delegable duty and therefore, the municipality rather than the landowner is responsible for injuries caused by traveling on a snowy or icy municipal sidewalk. See McCoats v. Threshermen's Mutual Ins. Co., Case No. 96-0715 (Ct. App. Jan 14, 1997, unpublished), citing Walley v. Patake, 271 Wis. 530, 540, 74 N.W.2d 130, 135 (1956) and Hagerty v. Village of Bruce, 82 Wis.2d 208, 213-14, 262 N.W.2d 102, 104 (1978).
Section 66.0907(5) and (10) require the board of public works or other municipal officers designated to handle street or sidewalk matters to “keep the sidewalks … clear of snow and ice in all cases where the owners or occupants of abutting lots fail to do so ….” Thus, it is ultimately the municipality’s responsibility. However, municipalities are afforded some protection by Wis. Stat. sec. 893.83, which prohibits an action for damages for injuries sustained because of a natural snow or ice accumulation unless the accumulation existed for three weeks. Section 893.83 also makes clear that actions for damages caused by accumulation of snow or ice existing more than 3 weeks are subject to sec. 893.80 which affords municipalities immunity for discretionary decisions and limits damages. If a resident fails to remove snow and ice as required by ordinance, that resident is subject to a forfeiture if the ordinance imposes one, and the municipality can perform the work itself and charge the property owner for the removal as a special charge under sec. 66.0627 or as a special tax under sec. 66.0907(5). | 2019-04-23T03:59:22 | http://www.lwm-info.org/1011/Liability-FAQ-1 |

In this article Mohamed Talal shows us how to make a simple diffuser for a DSLR pop up flash.
There are three things that separate this diffuser from other diffusers we have featured before. The first is the total cost – this one really costs nothing. The second one is the size of the diffusion panel. By using this method you get a nicely sized diffusion panel. Lastly, a quick mod will turn this diffuser to a ring flash.
It is called the Headphones diffuser, but don’t feel obliged to use headphones casing, you can use GI-Joe’s casings, Transformers casings, or just a nice pieces of transparent material.
Start with the box of headphones, I got a Chinese headphone (from creative). The cost was 2.5 $. Again, you can use any leftovers from ay other “blister wrap” or semi hard transparency sheet.
Cut a round hole from the front piece. This hole is where the diffuser will mount on the camera.
Now make two holes as shown on the sides of the curves.
This is where the glue comes in. spread some glue on the surface side. Make sure you spread it nice (but thin). Once you have the entire surface covered, attach your diffusion material to the plastic. (We used printed paper in this tutorial, but you can use less absorbing material).
This is the time to use the back piece. Apply glue and attach the foil. The foil will make sure you are “wasting” any light. Any light reflected from the front will be bounced back to it by the foil.
Attach the front and back together. If you used anything other then head phones “blister pack”, attach your two parts together. Use tape or glue to make the two parts stick together.
Ok, we have made the bubbly thingy, but how can you mount it on the camera?
First, open your built in flash. Then, put the rubber thread under the viewfinder as shown in the picture below.
Now, place the diffuser on the flash as show in the image below. The rubber thread from the previous step will make the diffuser hold on to the camera.
Since we are absorbing a huge amount of light here, I suggest going manual and using 1/2 or full power. (Depending on your ISO and aperture, you may want to experiment a bit.
Wait, there is more! You can make a ring flash as well. There is one more additional step to convert this diffuser into a ring flash.
Use a round piece of foil and glue it to the diffuser. See the picture below for details.
…and here is an image with the ring flash attached. | 2019-04-21T05:20:33 | https://www.diyphotography.net/the-headphones-pop-up-flash-diffuser/ |
There are many factors that cause teeth discoloration but some are more common. These include drinking coffee, tea, and red beverages, smoking, aging and the excessive use of fluoride. Yes, that last one may be surprising to you. After all, isn’t fluoride supposed to be healthy for your teeth, according to dentists? Though I’m not going to go into the details of that debate here, I recommend that you do some research on the use of fluoride and its origin. I think you might reevaluate your opinion on it and start looking into the benefits of using an all-natural tooth whitener.
Choosing the best natural tooth whitener for you and your family might take some trial and error. Some are pleasant tasting and some are not. Also, consider the ingredients used to make an all-natural whitener determines how effective and safe it is for use. Remember to always check with your healthcare providers before trying new health practices. Here are some benefits you might love about going natural!
Some natural teeth whiteners have antimicrobial properties. This is essential for good oral hygiene as well as gum health. One such ingredient is coconut oil and is considered one of the best natural teeth whiteners. Using it regularly can help maintain good oral hygiene, whiten your teeth, and also help prevent bad breath. Also, coconut oil has no side effects when ingested. In fact, it helps to control the growth of bad gut bacteria while encouraging the growth of good bacteria. Its effectiveness is enhanced when combined with activated charcoal. There are whitening strips made of activated charcoal and coconut oil that are effective in whitening the teeth without causing the harsh side effects that the chemical ones do. They are recommended for people who want to whiten their teeth naturally.
Proven research shows that activated charcoal absorbs toxins that can be harmful to health. There are many toxins found in the mouth and are increased by poor oral hygiene. Using activated charcoal after each meal is effective in controlling bacteria and toxins.
It is important to shop wisely for teeth whitening products. Some dentists recommend the use of natural teeth whiteners as they have no side effects, however, some don’t. This is a decision you really need to make for yourself. And, remember, just because a professional says something is OK, doesn’t mean it is. Using whiteners that contain harsh bleaching agents corrode your enamel and eventually weaken teeth. That is why opting for natural teeth whiteners that contain ingredients such as coconut oil and activated charcoal is a valid option.
There are many other natural teeth whitening remedies as well. They include apple cider vinegar, baking soda, and hydrogen peroxide. You should be careful though to use products that do not corrode the enamel. This weakens the teeth. Coconut oil and activated charcoal are considered safe and effective natural teeth whiteners. They do not cause any side effects and can be used regularly. Remember proper oral hygiene, combined with natural and effective oral hygiene products are essential for healthy gums and whiter teeth.

AngelicView: The internet radio show, Fade to Black, is one of my favorite ones to listen to. I love Jimmy Church, the host of the show. He asks all the questions that I’m thinking. Imagine my delight to see that he had Dannion Brinkley on! Dannion Brinkley is a famous Near Death Experiencer who has many great stories to tell about what he saw when he was on the other side of the veil, and also wrote many prophecies based on his experience.
The beginning of the interview starts at about 30 minutes into the show. Unfortunately, there are some commercial breaks on Fade to Black that are not cut out, but they are usually about two minutes long so I will often just skip ahead two minutes on the video to skip them.
Thanks for sharing this. I met Dannion a few years ago. He’s very nice and I really enjoyed his talk. | 2019-04-20T21:08:04 | https://angelicview.wordpress.com/2016/04/03/dannion-brinkley-on-fade-to-black/ |

Good response when booking and no hassles when picking up and returning the car. Only complaint was that the car had only 9/10 of a tank of fuel on pickup.
We booked a VW Up! but we were given a Hyundai i10, which I was initially unhappy about. However, the little i10 was really good and did exactly what we wanted it to do.
Service from the team was good. We collected the car within 10 minutes of us arriving at the rental office. Drop off was a bit longer but it was very, very busy.
- Renter from United Kingdom. Rented VW Up | Manual.
- Renter from Israel. Rented Nissan Qashqai | Manual.
Service was good. Not pushy as many car rental services are. The return was smooth with no problems. Friendly helpful.
All well prepared, helpfull stuff.
- Renter from Czechia. Rented Suzuki Jimny | Manual.
Rented a car for 12 days to do a full circle. Everything was good, quick return, no problems.
- Renter from United States. Rented Toyota.
We were more than impressed by the efforts this company made to get us on our way. When we picked up our rental, the first two cars they wanted to give us had to be replaced because the "Check Engine" light lit up. At the end of the peak tourism season I imagine that maintenance might have been postponed, and rental cars do see more driver abuse than private ones. The third car was alright until we reached Borgarnes (about an hours drive from Keflavik) when it too lit up the "Check Engine. We called the company and they sent us to a mechanic in Borgarnes who was unable to pin down the problem. Iceland Car Rental then drove us up a new car and made the exchange there. As a result, we lost a couple of hours of our trip, got to see more of Borgarnes than we had planned, and ended up with an upgraded vehicle for the same price.
- Renter from Canada. Rented Toyota Landcruiser 150 | Auto | 5-7 persons.
The service was very good. We got through the line quickly and renting the car was quick and painless. We had to wait 15-20 minutes while they cleaned the car for us but we didn't mind. All in all, the service agent was helpful and friendly.
- Renter from United States. Rented Dacia Dokker Camper.
We had a great experience renting a car with Iceland Car Rental. Renting a car in Iceland can be confusing with all the different insurances, but this company made it really straightforward, so it was easy to understand exactly what was included in the price I was paying.
Picking up and returning the car was really fast and easy. The staff were also very helpful when we had a problem with my partner losing his photographic driving licence a few days before our rental was due to start.
- Renter from United Kingdom. Rented VW Polo | Manual. | 2019-04-26T01:40:04 | https://www.icelandcarrental.is/reviews?page=4 |

Laws have been passed under both North Carolina and federal governments which prohibit discriminating on the basis of defined protected characteristics. Depending on what type of trait prompted the discriminatory treatment, government employers and even private organizations in Cary can be held liable under various state and federal laws.
If an employee is a member of a legally protected category and their employer treats them unfairly because of that, the employer will be held liable for employment discrimination. Some traits which employers are not allowed to evaluate employees with are: race, age, national origin, religion, familial status, and gender. Plaintiffs in Cary, North Carolina are required to prove that their employer treated them unfairly due to their protected status in order to succeed on an employment discrimination claim.
Procedures for pursuing an employment discrimination claim are complicated, because they involve filing the claim with the corresponding agency. An Cary, North Carolina attorney can help you file on time, as well as pursue any additional remedies that may be available to you while your case is pending. | 2019-04-21T08:13:52 | https://employment-law.legalmatch.com/NC/Cary/employment-discrimination-law.html |
The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NOW) has awarded a Rubicon grant to three UvA researchers who recently obtained their doctorates. This will allow them to conduct research at a leading institute abroad.
For many researchers, international experience marks an important step in their careers. A total of 121 researchers applied for a Rubicon grant, of which 18 were awarded. The funds from the Rubicon grant will allow researchers to do research for up to 24 months. The amount of funding depends on the chosen destination and duration of stay.
Listeners recognise speech sounds within their language on the basis of multiple acoustic features. Nevertheless, they only focus on one such feature in unknown speech sounds. Chládková will investigate how people eventually learn how to listen to multiple acoustic auditory sounds simultaneously. She will conduct her research at the University of Leipzig (Germany).
In our daily lives, we move about freely. However, to do so we use a complex brain network which processes important visual information from our surroundings. Groen will map this network by temporarily interfering with regions of the brain by means of brain stimulation. Her project will take place at the National Institutes for Health, Bethesda (US). | 2019-04-23T10:53:32 | https://www.uva.nl/en/content/news/press-releases/2015/04/rubicon-grant-for-three-young-uva-researchers.html |

Guinea Pig Cages at the LOWEST PRICES. Get your Guinea Pig Cage ON SALE TODAY.
Welcome to the guinea pig cage section. Here you will find the safest, and highest quality guinea pig cages on the market today at the lowest prices. You will be surprised by the low cost and high quality of our guinea pig cages. Browse through our guinea pig cages, and we're sure you'll find what your looking for.
When purchasing a guinea pig cage, its wise to invest in the largest cage you have room for. There is no such thing as a cage that is too large for guinea pig. The larger the guinea pig cage, the happier the guinea pig will be. Since your guinea pig will be spending most of its time in its cage you want to make sure it is comfortable.
Most of our guinea pig cages have been designed with easy cleaning in mind. Since your guinea pig will be spending most of its time in its cage, you want to make sure its clean. Most of our guinea pig cages use a grid and pan system so that waste can fall through the grid and into the pan. Since the waste falls into the pan, your guinea pig won't have to sit and play in it.
Make sure to take into consideration how many access points you want. This will be based on where you plan to put your guinea pig cage in your home. Will you want a top door? Side doors? Remember that this is not only to get your guinea pig out of the guinea pig cage, but for cleaning also.
How you want to clean your guinea pig cage is another thing to think about. Do you want to keep your guinea pig in its cage while you clean? Maybe use a bottom that snaps off while the grid remains attached to the guinea pig cage. Do you want a pan that just slides out with all the waste? Or just take the top off and clean a solid base guinea pig cage? These are all things to think about so you can plan the placement and cleaning of your guinea pig cage so it is not difficult. We offer all of these options in our guinea pig cage selection.
The blue single and two story guinea pig cages have snap off bottoms. This means that your guinea pig can stay in its cage while you snap the bottom of and clean it. Don't forget that even with pans and snap off bottoms to dispose of waste, you'll need to thoroughly clean the guinea pig cage once a month. This means cleaning the bars and any platforms and ladders.
All of the deluxe and metal guinea pig homes have pull out pans. The tub guinea pig cages and guinea pig cage with stand have solid bottoms. Some pet parents prefer solid bottoms for their guinea pig cage. | 2019-04-20T00:53:03 | https://www.petstreetmall.com/guinea-pig-cages/3367.html |
A call option contract gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy a security at a predetermined price (the strike price) on a specific date (European call) or during a specific period (American call). A call is "in the money" when the current price of the stock is trading above the strike price and "out of the money" when the reverse is true.
Many investors buy call options as part of their investment strategy. Unfortunately, it's likely they do so without knowing the returns to such a strategy. This is an all-too-common problem that isn't limited to options trading -- individuals don't know the returns on their investments. For example, the authors of the study "Why Inexperienced Investors Do Not Learn: They Don't Know Their Past Portfolio Performance" found that not only do individual investors dramatically overstate their performance, but performance is negatively related with the absolute difference between return estimates and realized returns.
In other words, the lower the returns, the worse investors were when judging their realized returns. They noted that while just 5 percent of investors believed they had experienced negative returns, the reality was that 25 percent did so!
Call option returns are generally low and decrease as the strike price increases.
Deep in-the-money calls generally deliver positive returns if held for a month, while all other calls deliver returns that are negative or not statistically significant from zero.
Deep out-of-the-money calls deliver lottery-like returns -- very large losses on average, with occasional, but rare, large and positive returns. Of the 709 options that fell into this category, 706 expired worthless, with the average return being -91 percent. The three that did produce a profit provided returns of 1,092 percent, 2,414 percent and 2,600 percent. Such returns provide the hope that leads to mostly very poor results.
The holding period didn't matter.
These findings are consistent with studies that show that individuals are risk seekers in that they have a preference for investments that have lottery-like distributions (such as "penny stocks," stocks in bankruptcy, IPOs and small growth stocks). They produce very poor results on average, but on rare occasions they provide outsized returns. The other explanation is that investors don't realize how bad such strategies are in terms of expected returns. If you've been buying call options, you no longer have that excuse.
The poor results of a buying calls strategy raises the question about the results of the other side of the trade -- selling calls and earning the premium. There are many investors who engage in this strategy by selling what is referred to as covered calls.
A covered-call strategy requires the investor to write (sell) a call option on stocks that are in the portfolio. Essentially, the covered-call investor is trading off the upside potential (above the strike price) of the equity investment for an up-front fee and reduced (by the size of the call premium) exposure to downside risk.
Marketers of covered-call strategies demonstrate the efficiency of the strategy through the "Sharpe ratio," a measure of the return earned above the rate of return on riskless short-term U.S. Treasury bills relative to the risk taken, with risk being measured by the standard deviation of returns. While the Sharpe ratio is a useful risk-reward measurement tool, it defines standard deviation as the measure of risk. While standard deviation does measure the volatility of returns, volatility is not the only measure of risk. Investors care not only about volatility, but also about other characteristics of the distribution of returns, such as skewness.
Skewness measures the asymmetry of a distribution. Negative skewness occurs when the values to the left of (less than) the mean are fewer but farther from the mean than are values to the right of the mean. For example, the return series of -30 percent, 5 percent, 10 percent, and 15 percent has a mean of 0 percent. There is only one return less than zero percent, and three higher; but the one that is negative is much further from zero than the positive ones. Positive skewness occurs when the values to the right of (more than) the mean are fewer but farther from the mean than are values to the left of the mean. As we have already mentioned, the evidence suggests that investors prefer assets with positive skewness, like the lottery ticket. They generally try to avoid assets with negative skewness.
This leads us to the question of what impact does a covered-call writing strategy have on the potential distribution of returns. Does it shift the distribution away from a normal one, rendering the use of measures such as the Sharpe ratio less meaningful? The study, "Covered Calls: A Lose/Lose Investment," covering the nine-year period of February 1987 to December 1995, found that that while covered-call strategies did produce a lower standard deviation than did an indexing strategy, because the covered-call strategy eliminates the upside potential it produces negative skewness of returns (the kind investors dislike). For example, using a strategy of one-month covered calls produced a negative skewness of 4.6 versus a negative skewness of just 1.1 for a buy-and-hold indexing strategy. The negative skewness calls into question the relevance of the Sharpe ratio for this strategy.
While it is true that a covered-call strategy does reduce kurtosis ("fat tails"), the problem is that it eliminates the potential for the good fat tail (the one to the right), while having no impact on the risk of the bad fat tail (the one to the left) occurring. Risk-averse investors would much prefer to eliminate the risk of the left fat tail (bear market) while accepting a smaller right fat tail (bull market).
Unfortunately, there are other negative features of covered-call writing strategies which include tax inefficiency and high transactions costs. As an alternative, I recommend investors consider lowering their equity allocation while increasing their exposure to small and value stocks.

The Centre for Hate Studies is renowned for its pioneering research on issues of hate and extremism. As well as undertaking large-scale studies, we are also regularly commissioned by organisations within the public, private and third sector to conduct smaller, tailored pieces of research.
You can browse a selection of some of the projects that we have conducted.
Over a two-year period we conducted Britain’s biggest ever study of hate crime victimisation, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council. The project uncovered new insights into the nature and extent of hate crime, and into the impact of these offences upon victims, families and wider communities.
Find out more about The Leicester Hate Crime Project.
We were commissioned by Amnesty International UK to undertake a review of the state's approach to dealing with hate crime. Through a series of case studies, this research illustrates that victims are being let down by existing legislative and policy responses to hate crime and it identifies a number of recommendations for addressing these problems.
Find out more about identifying and dismantling barriers to justice.
We were awarded a grant from the Equality and Human Rights Commission to lead a project that explored the reasons why lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are unwilling and/or reluctant to report hate crimes to the police or another relevant organisation. We used the findings to develop an evidence-based template of good practice to inform the wider delivery of new and existing hate crime reporting strategies.
Find out more about identifying barriers and solutions to hate crime under-reporting.
We have been commissioned by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire to lead a project designed to inform the development of a new hate crime strategy and victims’ support service. This research will generate much-needed knowledge on the emotional, physical and health support needs of hate crime victims, and we will use the findings to produce a set of recommendations that will improve existing hate crime policy and practice in Hertfordshire.

All routers need to be rebooted from time to time – it’s just just a fact of life. Unfortunately, consumer-grade home routers typically need to be rebooted more frequently due to the lower grade engineering and manufacturing that goes into them compared to their business/provider-grade counterparts.
It can be very handy to have the capability to reboot your router from a computer, so we are going to cover various methods here.
Be forewarned: If you plan to reboot your router remotely (via the Internet), all of these methods require some advance preparation – your router needs to be setup to allow remote access to the management web interface in advance. This means that you’ll need to configure remote access to your router while you are accessing it locally (from your house).
You probably won’t have much success if you are trying to reboot it remotely without the aforementioned prep work, since you likely won’t be able to gain the required access to the router to initiate the reboot.
If you are simply wanting to reset the router from a computer on your local network (within your home), this additional prep work is not necessary.
Before continuing, I should point out – resetting a router can mean two different things: rebooting it or resetting the configuration back to factory defaults.
A simple reboot is most often what people actually mean when they say ‘reset’. We are discussing rebooting here, not resetting the router’s configuration.
Either option is typically available remotely, but it differs depending on the make and model. Just make sure you don’t actually factory reset your router when you are only intending to reboot it.
While the need to reboot occasionally is normal, if you router frequently needs to be rebooted, you might want to look into other issues that may be causing the trouble, such as the need for a firmware upgrade, overheating or other environmental issues, or issues that need to be addressed by your ISP.
Remote Access: Accessing your router via the Internet. This could be from across town or across the world. Access is initiated from the outside (from the Internet) going in. For most people, 99% of your traffic is initiated from the inside going out, which is why setting up remote access requires some advance configuration (due to the inherent security concerns).
Local Access: Accessing your router from your home network – either through your own WiFi connection, or a computer that is plugged in to your router.
Why the need to reset (reboot) a router?
Rebooting your router physically is pretty easy, simply unplug the power cord and plug it back in. But what if you want to reboot the router from a computer?
The most common reason for needing to reboot remotely, is when you are not home but need to access something on your home network like a computer, security camera, or smart home device. Or, maybe you are the most technical person in the household and a family member or roommate calls you at work to ask for help with fixing the internet.
Or perhaps you just want to reset the router without the inconvenience of going upstairs, downstairs, or across the house to physically reset it. The ability to reboot your router remotely in these cases can be very handy.
The router must be operational and currently passing/routing traffic. This is a big one, because often times people want to reboot their router BECAUSE it’s not currently operating. If the router is frozen or otherwise not responding, you are not going to be able to log in to it in order to reset it.
The routers’ admin username and password. This differs from your WiFi password and is required any time you are making configuration changes to the router. If you don’t know or can’t remember the password, be sure to try the default password – perhaps you never updated it when you first installed the router. The RouterPasswords site can help you find the default password for your make/model.
You need to know what the IP address of your router is. More on this in a second.
If you plan to initiate a reboot remotely (via the Internet), access to the router’s management web interface must be enabled from the WAN side. Most routers support this feature but it is almost always disabled by default due to security concerns. By enabling this option, your router will respond with the login page when accessed on it’s public IP just like it currently responds when you access it from home by going to http://192.168.1.1, etc.
If you are accessing the router from home, simply run an ‘ipconfig’ (Windows) or ‘ifconfig’ (Mac and Linux) command to see your IP address information. Included in this information, is the default gateway. This is the IP address of your router.
If you are trying to access your router while away from home, the process is a bit trickier. You will need to know your public internet IP address, which can be found by going to IP Chicken before you leave the house.
Be advised, many ISP’s will change your public IP from time to time, so you might also with to explore setting up Dynamic DNS so that you don’t have to check each time to see if your IP address has changed.
There is also an extra option that usually needs to be configured on the router to allow management access from the internet. This is usually a simple checkbox that says “allow management access from internet, web, WAN”, etc. In the screenshot above it is called “remote management”.
Enable this feature after you have set a secure administrator password on your router. Don’t enable it if you are still using the default administrator password.
Once you have obtained the IP address of your router, simply put it into the address bar of your favorite web browser and hit ‘enter’. Next, enter your admin username and password to log in.
The reboot option is different on every router, but will typically be found in the ‘status’, ‘tools’, or ‘administration’ sections of the menu. I’ve even had routers that had a ‘reboot’ button right on the first page. Check your router’s documentation if you can’t find the reset option.
Once you have issued the reset command, you will lose connectivity to it for a few minutes while it reboots. You can log back in to it once it boots back up.
In addition to logging in via the web interface, some routers have the option to log in to the command line via telnet or SSH. This can be quicker and sometimes works when the web interface won’t load.
This is also more advanced and sometimes requires knowledge of the command line syntax to properly issue a reboot command.
Additionally, some routers have a scheduled reboot option. For example, I currently have my home router scheduled to reboot every night at midnight. I know that everyone in my house is in bed at this time, so it won’t disturb anyone, and it ensures that my router is always running fresh.
We call these ‘theraputic reboots’ in the tech industry.
Check your router’s web interface or the documentation to see if your make/model supports scheduled reboots. Most third party firmware options like DD-WRT, OpenWRT, and Tomato have this option as well.
Finally, you can also get a remote power switch (AKA, a “smart plug”) and plug your router into it. Smart plugs provide a user with the ability to remotely turn the switch on and off, which would be equivalent to unplugging your router from the wall and plugging it back in to reset it.
These devices vary from remote-controlled units – which are the cheapest and most simple, but also require close proximity – to advanced IP-controlled units that can be operated from thousands of miles away via the Internet.
Disclaimer: What we are discussing here potentially has the same “chicken before the egg” problem we discussed before. That is, if your router isn’t passing traffic, you might not be able to access the smart plug in order to initiate a reboot.
I recommend the TP-Link smart plug shown below. It supports the ability to turn on/off power to the plug from your phone, and allows for scheduled power cycling as well.
Hopefully this information helps you achieve your goal of rebooting your router from a computer.
Looking for the best router for 100Mbps Internet?
If you have a 100Mbps internet connection, you are ahead of most people in terms of broadband speed. True, there are some services that go much faster (usually up to 1 Gigabit per second, which is 10 times the speed of 100Mpbs).
However, there are still many people that struggle to reach anywhere near 100Mbps. Lots of cable and DSL services still max out in the 25Mbps and 50Mbps ranges, and then there are people in rural areas that have to setting for speeds in the 1-10Mbps range using technologies like fixed wireless, T-1, and satellite internet.
Excellent performance at an affordable price!
Thus, it is recommended to pick a router that can support your 100M Internet connection without slowing you down.
The team here at Infravio really likes the RT-AC68U and recommends it to our readers regularly. It features just the right mix of performance, features, stability, and quality – all at a reasonable price point.
The RT-AC68U sports the latest wireless standard, 802.11AC. It supports dual-band connectivity (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) with data rates up to 1900Mbps.
It also features a 1 GHz dual-core CPU and all of it’s wired ports support Gigabit. Gigabit support on the WAN (Internet) port isn’t required for people with 100Mbps Internet, but it is still a good idea to future-proof your router in case you upgrade your Internet service later.
Older routers without Gigabit support typically came equipped with 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports, meaning that they could run at 10Mbps or 100Mbps, but not 1000Mbps (Gigabit). Technically, if your Internet service clocks in at 100Mbps, you could get by with an older 10/100M router, but we don’t recommend it.
We say this because even though the 100M port on the router wouldn’t slow you down (since it is running at the same speed as your Internet service), the router’s older technology and lack of current feature sets could set you back.
For example, an older router likely wouldn’t support features such as 802.11AC, MIMO, and Beamforming – all of which can give you increased wireless range and speed.
There are a plethora of new features being released all of the time, so it is generally worth it to consider upgrading your router every few years, even if your existing router isn’t broken. If your old router happens to be an ASUS router, you may even want to re-use it in another area of your home and take advantage of ASUS AiMesh technology.
The AC68U runs the ASUSWRT web interface, which features powerful reporting capabilities to see what is going on in your network. We also like that it is simple enough that a novice that quickly complete the basic 3-step installation and get online without worrying about configuring optional advanced features that they may never use.
The AC68U is fully compatible with ASUS’ mobile app (available for both Android and iOS) – which lets you view bandwidth usage, modify settings, enforce parental controls, see a list of all devices connected to your network, and much much more – all from your smartphone or tablet .
This router also optionally supports the Asuswrt-Merlin firmware product – which unlocks additional advanced features of the router and offers loads of additional monitoring capabilities. This is definitely an advanced feature and can be risky if you are a novice (flashing a router is always a bit risky).
The router has been very stable in our testing, and the majority of other reviews on this model echo our sentiment – it shows great reliability and doesn’t need to be rebooted frequently like some routers. That being said, it may need to be rebooted from time to time (every router does) and the AC68U has a great feature for this too – the auto reboot.
This is such a handy feature – you can configure the router to reboot itself regularly at a time you designate. For example – I have my router set to reboot every day at 2AM while I am sleeping.
It is well documented that most types of computing and networking equipment performs better and more reliably after a reboot – we call these ‘theraputic reboots’. The idea is to reboot the device BEFORE trouble starts.
Since these reboots can be scheduled to run at any time and on a recurring schedule, it makes for a nice ‘set it and forget it’ situation, where you can reboot the router daily at a time you won’t notice and still reap the benefits of a regular therapeutic reboot.
I never notice these reboots, and my router never needs to be rebooted manually because it is always running at peak performance due to the recent reboot.
The build quality on this router is great. It is both durable and stylish. It feels great when handled – you can tell that it is more than just a cheap chunk of plastic.
It also features removable antennas – a feature usually found only on higher end routers.
It also features ASUS AiProtection, which provides an additional layer of security. This service is included with the router free of charge for the life of the product and is NOT a subscription service.
Overall, the AC68U offers a great mix to the 100Mbps internet user – performance, features, quality and reliability – all at a good price point.
We hope this article has helped you answer the question of what is the best router for 100Mbps Internet. Thanks for reading.
Have Charter Spectrum Internet service at your home or business and looking to pair it with the best router? Have no fear – we are going to break down the best routers available so you can make an informed decision and get the best “bang for your buck”.
Spectrum from Charter Communications is a brand of broadband Internet services offered to business and consumer customers to roughly 25 million people across 48 states.
Spectrum service is primary delivered across a coaxial cable system, using infrastructure originally designed to bring cable TV to homes. Charter also delivers service in some areas via fiber optic cabling.
They have invested heavily in the infrastructure of their network and are running the latest DOCSIS 3.0 or 3.1 standards in many areas, enabling them to offer Gigabit speeds (and beyond) to their subscribers.
a top tier that runs at 1000Mbps (Gigabit) downstream and 35Mbps upstream.
If you’re saying to yourself “Wow, that is not a lot of upstream bandwidth compared to the downstream amount you get”, you’d be right.
Fortunately, most users down’t need a large amount of upstream capacity. Power users may notice a pinch though, which is why fiber-based services that are usually available as a symmetrical service are preferred or cable-based providers such as Charter.
There are a ton of routers out there and most of them are very similar in the standards they support and the features they offer. For the most part, various features don’t make much of a difference.
Gigabit Ethernet ports – Since your Spectrum service will likely be running at a minimum of 100Mbps and possibly as high as 1Gbps, make sure your router has Gigabit Ethernet ports. Many older routers have 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports, meaning the router can pass a maximum of 100Mbps. You don’t want to be paying for 100+Mbps speeds and not be able to use it because your older router can’t hack it.
A proven track record of reliability – Make sure your new router is stable and doesn’t need to be rebooted constantly in order to perform. Some routers do!
Sufficient number of antennas providing decent signal coverage – some router’s just don’t have powerful or well designed enough radios and thus are unable to provide decent coverage, which ensures that Wi-Fi users will have a strong, reliable signal that provides decent speeds at various ranges.
You will be happy with any of the four routers highlighted above – but of course there can only be one winner. In this roundup, we chose the ASUS RT-AC88U.
You’re probably not surprised to see that it’s not the cheapest router available either. Well, unfortunately, quality, performance, and reliability come at a cost.
Excellent Range – Thanks to the four external omni-directional antennas and a plethora of improvements built in to the 802.11AC standard, this router provides some of the longest range and most reliable connections among consumer-grade Wi-Fi routers.
If your house is huge, you may be better off installing multiple wireless access points instead of trying to get one powerful router. Many people don’t understand that wireless communication is a two-way street. Your phone, tablet, laptop, etc must not only receive data from your router, but it must also transmit it back. So even if your router transmits at a high strength, there is no guarantee that your device will be able to also transmit at a high enough signal strength to ensure a reliable connection. Having multiple access points in your home, where your device can associate with the closest one, is a better option for people needing to cover really large areas.
A plethora of Ethernet ports – This router has a whopping eight LAN ports. Most routers only have four LAN ports.
Many people have too many devices to plug in and need to add an Ethernet Switch such as this one to give them more Ethernet ports. This router can eliminate that need, since eight ports is probably enough for most people.
Good Management Options – ranging from an Intuitive WebUI to a handy mobile app. Advanced users really like AsusWRT-Merlin, a robust (and completely optional) firmware that supports many advanced features.
Good QoS controls – The Quality of Service controls are straight forward and actually work, allowing you to prioritize some traffic types over others (such as prioritizing Voice over IP traffic over BitTorrent traffic).
Guest Wi-Fi capability – This router features the ability to easily create a Guest Wi-Fi network – a separate network for guests with a different name, different password, and no ability to access resources on your private network (only ability to go out to the Internet).
Pricey – This router definitely carries a bit of a premium price tag.
Physical size – The AC88U is larger than most routers and many users report that it can generate a lot of heat.
Not novice friendly – While we really like the long list of advanced features that this router supports (especially if you flash the Merlin firmware), this router is not as friendly for novices as many routers on the market.
Potential for radio failure – Some users have reported individual bands (either 2.4GHz or 5GHz) failing or stopping working intermittently and requiring the router to be RMA’d. While these seem to be isolated cases (not a manufacturing defect), the failure rate seems to be abnormally high based on user reviews.
The R6700 from Netgear is one of my favorite routers and I recommend it to our readers frequently. Its performance and reliability relative to its affordable price point makes it the obvious choice for runner-up in this round up.
This router may not have all of the features or as many LAN ports as more expensive routers, but it can handle a Gigabit Internet connection from Charter Spectrum without any problems.
Gigabit Ethernet ports – The Ethernet ports on this router are all Gigabit, meaning you won’t be limited to 100Mbps like some routers.
Current Generation (Wi-Fi 5) support – This router supports the current 802.11AC specification so you get all of the benefits of the current standard and aren’t stuck on the previous Wi-Fi 4 standard, 802.11N.
Excellent Coverage – The Wi-Fi coverage from this router is excellent, providing a strong and reliable signal in the far reaches of your medium to large sized home (assuming the router is placed in a central location).
Reliability / Stability – Sampling a large number of reviews online, most users report that this router is quite reliable: not frequently experiencing drop-outs in service or requiring reboots.
Advanced Features – Make no mistake about it, this router supports its own suite of advanced features. Most notably, the Quality of Service (QOS) and Parental Control features generally work quite well.
Netgear Warranty Support – If you do run into an issue and need support, many people have reported that Netgear’s tech support is not the greatest. Some people have even said they had to pay money to Netgear for a support contract before they could start an RMA on a router that was still under warranty. Not Cool!
Advanced Firmware Incompatibility – Some versions of the R6700 are not compatible with advanced firmware, such as DD-WRT. As of this writing, v1 and v3 are compatible, but v2 is not.
Regardless of which WiFi router you buy to go along with your Charter Spectrum Internet, as long as you follow our guidelines listed at the top of this post, you should be okay.
Camping in an RV is a great way to relax, vacation, and see the countryside. Let’s be honest though – most of us want to stay connected to the outside world, even while we are camping.
After all, people buy or rent RV’s because they want to enjoy some of the comforts of home while they camp. Those that aren’t interested in having creature comforts usually opt for backpacking and tent camping instead.
While many RV parks, campgrounds, and marinas offer Wi-Fi to their customers, accessing this service from your RV can sometimes be a challenge. Many times, the Wi-Fi facilities may be sub-par – perhaps the campground only uses a single wireless router and doesn’t have any outdoor access points deployed.
Maybe your campsite is just too far from the office or clubhouse. Or, perhaps the campground didn’t intend for Wi-Fi to be accessed from the campsites and their only goal was to cover the general areas around the clubhouse, pool, picnic areas, etc.
Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to utilize campground Wi-fi reliably from the comfort of your RV? We think so to. Interested? Read on.
There are, of course, other alternatives to relying on campground Wi-Fi – with the main one being mobile 3G/4G cellular data. This, however, is not always reliable, and can also be quite expensive – since you can quickly burn through your mobile data allocation.
Satellite Internet is another possibility, however it can also be slow and expensive, and usually requires an annual contract.
Fixed Wireless through a Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) is a good option, except for the fact that most RV’ers are moving between campgrounds regularly and thus setting up a permanent fixed wireless solution isn’t really an option. If you tend to stay in one place most of the time in your RV, I’d definitely recommend checking out WISPs in your area.
Other alternatives such as dial-up, T1, Cable/DSL, etc are not really an option due to the permanent nature of their installation and the fact that they are not designed for mobility.
Using campground Wi-Fi is still one of the best bets for most people. Luckily, there are improvements that can be made to your RV to increase the accessibility, reliability, range, and performance of these wireless networks.
Each of these methods involve different twists on the same basic idea – position a high gain omni or directional antenna in a place to optimally receive and transmit data to the campground Wi-Fi network, and then make that signal usable inside your RV.
Using a remote antenna is the cheaper option, because it is less complex – one end (the antenna) goes in an elevated area, preferably with line of site to the Wi-Fi source. The other end connects directly to your laptop via USB.
The antenna can be placed on the roof or attached to a window inside of your RV.
The advantage of this solution is simplicity and price. With the remote antenna plugged in, your laptop simply has better access to the wireless signal than it would on it’s own.
The remote antenna includes it’s own wireless adapter in addition to the antenna, but it’s integrated into one device – simply plug in the USB cable into your laptop and you are ready to go. There are no additional devices to configure or power.
Installation is also simpler in some cases – many remote antennas are designed to attach to a window versus permanently drilling a hole in the roof of your RV and mounting an antenna externally.
The disadvantage is that it will not work on tablets or smartphones, it cannot be shared with multiple devices inside the RV, and it’s user will remain tethered to the antenna cable.
Side Note: In some cases you CAN share the internet connection through the laptop with other laptops, tablets, and smartphones in the RV. This depends on several factors, including the type of computer and operating system. Check here for more info.
Boosters, Repeaters, and Range Extenders do exactly what their name implies – they boost/amplify incoming and outgoing signals. An antenna on the roof of your RV is connected to a cable that is ran inside of your RV and connected to a router and an omni-directional antenna located inside. The original, boosted signal is then ready for use inside your RV where your laptop, tablet, or phone will be readily able to connect to it with a stable signal.
Think of it as plugging in your own wireless router between the campground Wi-Fi and your computer. You get a strong signal from the source connection and maintain mobility of Wi-Fi access inside the RV.
In this scenario, the signal is actually being re-broadcast – you will have your own wireless network name (SSID) and password (to keep other campers off your network). This method provides additional security, since your devices will be located behind an additional router/firewall from the rest of the campground network – but this benefit also comes with the drawback that it is more complex (your traffic will pass through one additional routed “hop” on it’s way to/from the Internet).
The other main benefit of this solution is that you can share the connection with multiple devices such as other laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
Installation is also more complex, however.
If you are looking for a long-term solution, we generally recommend using a booster/repeater/range extender over a remote antenna as it will generally give better results.
Regardless of which option you choose – a range extender versus an antenna, you will definitely notice a large improvement compared to simply using a laptop or tablet to connect directly to campground Wi-Fi – the antenna in those types of devices is simply not designed for the range needed in this situation.
Now get out there and enjoy the great outdoors!
Sadly, $150 doesn’t buy you a lot these days, but it will still get you a nice Wi-Fi Router. If you are shopping for a new router in this price range, read on.
Note: Pricing on Amazon fluctuates daily. This router was priced below $150 at the time of this writing and is likely (but not guaranteed) to stay below that mark. We aren’t able to keep up with the price changes, so we recommend clicking the Check Price button, which will send you over to Amazon to see the current price and review the product further.
The RT-AC68U won our top pick for several reasons including reliability, range, speed/throughput, features, and cost.
Good Value is defined as something that is worth the cost. While all routers can’t make this claim, we certainly feel that the RT-AC68U is a good value. Actually we feel that it is an excellent value!
Handling this router, you can tell that it is well made and not a cheap piece of junk. The external antennas are removable, and overall the router is pleasing to the eye.
The router features status LED’s on the front, indicating Ethernet 1-4 + WAN port status and activity, USB port status, 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio status, and a power indicator.
Having this indicators clearly identified and located right on the front is handy, especially since some manufacturers put the LED’s on the back, requiring you to move or pick up the router to get a visual check on it.
Speaking of LED’s, there is a button on the back to shut them off in case you are using the router in your bedroom and the bright light generated by the LED’s keeps you awake. Bonus!
I know aesthetics don’t matter to some people, but they matter a whole lot to other people, so I always include it in my reviews.
The RT-AC68U easily handles a large number of Wi-Fi clients. 50+ concurrent client support has been reported with no noticable slowdown.
If you have a large number of wireless devices in your home, (such as cameras, smart home devices, tablets, phones, and laptops) then you should definitely consider buying a router that can handle a large number of simultaneously connected devices – because not all routers can do so without experiencing performance issues.
The signal strength on this router is excellent, allowing to to reach devices in the deep corners of medium sized homes.
The 3 external antennas also offer adjust-ability and maximum reliability compared to models with fewer or internal-only antennas.
This router runs and runs without needing a reboot very often. Of course, pretty much any consumer-grade router will need an occasional therapeutic reboot from time to time.
The solution to that problem is scheduled reboots. This router’s ASUS-WRT firmware allows you to schedule reboots to take place automatically at a time of your choosing.
For example, mine is set to reboot daily at 2AM. Since everyone in the house is sleeping, we never notice the reboot.
Know what we do notice though? A router that is always freshly-booted and never has to be manually rebooted!
The ASUS-WRT interface on this router will look familiar to someone who has used other ASUS networking products in the past.
ASUS does a great job of maintaining consistency between their products, which means some users aren’t starting from scratch with the RT-AC68U since they are already familiar with the firmware interface.
The RT-AC68U also includes the capability to configure one of the LAN ports as a WAN port, giving you two WAN ports.
This is nice, because it allows you to connect the router to two different internet connections, define primary and backup connections, and have the router automatically failover to the backup Internet connection if the primary connection fails.
You can also use one of the USB ports as a second WAN port, allowing you to use a 5G modem as your backup internet service if you wish. Very cool.
Most people don’t have two Internet connections and won’t use this feature, but it’s nice to know it’s there. It’s disabled by default, which allows all 4 LAN ports to be used as such.
If you are on the road and need access to your home network, ASUS has your back. Simply configure and enable the VPN server on the router, and you will be able to login from anywhere on the Internet to access your network as if you were at home. Just make sure you know what your public IP address is before you leave the house.
If you have a USB hard drive connected to the router, you can set up the router as a Time Machine target disk. Very cool.
Many ASUS routers come with a proprietary feature called AiMesh.
AiMesh is designed to allow you to connect another ASUS router to your current router via wireless, and then place the second router somewhere else in your home or business with the goal being to bolster your Wi-Fi coverage in spotty areas.
Sounds cool, especially considering the fact that you don’t have to run a Cat5 cable to the new router. This is also marketed as a good way to re-use older routers that you may have just replaced with a new model… also a cool idea.
In practice, the AiMesh feature can be difficult to get working and once it is working, can be somewhat unreliable.
Some users have reported issues configuring QoS in order to prioritize bandwidth for certain users or applications. This is an advanced feature and is frequently mis-configured, so we’re not sure if this is an actual bug in the firmware, or user error.
Some users have reported certain Ethernet ports on the router failing, requiring them to either stop using those ports (you could add a basic switch if you need additional ports), or RMA the router with ASUS.
Overall, we really like this router. True, it does have some shortcomings, but every router does.
We really like the performance, good signal coverage, and reliability that you get for the price with this router. If you are looking for a new router under $150, definitely check this one out!
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could give guests access to your Wi-Fi without worrying about them having access to everything on your network such as your files, computers, security cameras, etc.
Previously I had wondered this as well. I always cringed a little bit when I gave out my Wi-Fi password.
Even though I typically only gave it out to people I trusted, such as friends and family, you never really know if the information might be shared later.
Another concern is that you never know what may happen to a device that has your Wi-Fi credentials stored on it. Perhaps you give your password to a friend today, and maybe their tablet gets stolen tomorrow.
The thief could potentially find and access your wireless network from the tablet, or even worse, extract the password from it and share it on the dark web.
Another common scenario would be if your friend sold or gave their tablet to someone else, which could easily lead to your password being compromised.
The point is, once you start to give out your Wi-Fi password, you have lost control of the potential security implications that its distribution might bring about later.
Luckily, there is another way. Many modern routers feature guest network capability, which does exactly what its name implies – it allows you to create a special Wi-Fi network for your guests.
The guest network will have a different name (SSID) and a different password. Devices that join the guest network will still be able to access the Internet, but they will be restricted from accessing any of your private internal network resources, such as file shares (NAS), printers, security cameras, and more.
This means that you can give out your guest network credentials to friends and family without worrying so much about your security.
Some routers will have additional advanced guest network settings such as the ability to throttle bandwidth, define access schedules, etc.
Routers that support guest network bandwidth throttling allow you to define how much bandwidth your guests can use. Sometimes, this limit is a global limit (enforced across the sum of all users) and others this limit is enforced per-user.
For example, my home broadband connection runs at 40Mbps download and 5Mbps upload. In light of this, I have chosen to set my guest user bandwidth policy to 5Mbps download and 1Mbps upload.
This is plenty of bandwidth that a typical guest user would need. It is enough for basic surfing or even streaming a video on YouTube.
It prevents a guest user from (knowingly or unknowingly) abusing access and consuming large amounts of bandwidth by downloading something large, running BitTorrent, etc.
This ensures that my family will still have an enjoyable experience online, since the majority of my bandwidth will be reserved for them.
Some routers support the ability to define a schedule for guest network access.
For example, if you only want your guest network to be available on weekdays between 8AM and 5PM, you can configure this.
Any time outside of that schedule, the guest network won’t even appear in the list of available networks and no device will be able to connect to it. How’s that for cool!?
The TP-Link Archer A7 features all of the Guest Network capabilities mentioned above. Not only does it have the capability to create a basic guest network, but it also allows for bandwidth throttling and access scheduling.
The team here at Infravio loves the Archer A7 from TP-Link and we recommend it to our readers regularly.
The Archer A7 features a host of great features and specifications beyond its guest network capability, which explains its high ratings and widespread popularity.
Looking for a good wireless router to go with your high speed Internet connection but live in a house or apartment made of brick or concrete?
Look no further – let’s discuss the best router for brick or concrete walls.
What is the best router for brick walls?
What’s the deal with brick or concrete?
The composition of materials used to construct a building can absolutely make a difference in the range, reliability, and performance of your wireless network.
If your house, condominium, flat, or apartment is primarily make up of brick or concrete, you have more challenges than someone living in a building composed of traditional materials such as wood and drywall.
This has do with the fact the the Electromagnetic Waves of the Wi-Fi signal get absorbed (or even reflected) more or less by different materials in the environment. In the case of brick or concrete, these materials absorb the signal much greater than wood does, resulting in decreased range and speed, and generally less reliability than the same Wi-Fi network in a wood environment.
This is where the selection of your router and it’s configuration comes into play.
Most routers nowadays are dual-band routers, which is a good thing. However, in the case of EM-absorbing materials being present in the walls, ceilings, and floors of your residence, (and therefore being present between your router and your phone/tablet/laptop) it is best to connect on a lower-frequency band if possible.
Most routers can operate at both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Generally 5GHz is preferred because of the greater availability of clear (non-overlapping) channels and fewer devices and interference to compete with.
However if you are dealing with brick or concrete, your primary concern is the ability for your Wi-Fi signal to penetrate the materials in your walls.
Lower frequencies penetrate better and are attenuated less by brick, so you should use 2.4GHz over 5GHz.
This logic is the opposite of what I usually recommend. As I said before, people living in brick or concrete environments have special challenges!
So I should just scrap my dual-band router?
Now, hold on. I’m not necessarily saying you shouldn’t use the 5GHz band on your router. In fact, for wireless devices that are close to your router such as in the same room, or perhaps just one room away – you should try sticking to 5GHz.
For the rooms that are further away than that, you may need to use 2.4GHz.
Overall what I’m trying to say, is that you should be prepared to test both frequencies and see which works better for you.
The team here at Infravio really likes the R6700 and recommends it to our readers frequently. This router is feature-rich, highly stable, and offers excellent performance without breaking the bank.
Connecting your devices to the 2.4GHz band on this router should provide some of the best performance you can hope to attain in a brick/concrete environment.
If you are still having trouble, you may want to think about deploying one or more wireless access points in your home, which will serve to decrease signal attenuation by bringing the source closer to more devices.
For people with a 200Mbps connection to the internet, congratulations. That is a pretty fast connection. It is definitely not the quickest, with services from some cable and fiber to the home based providers clocking in at 1Gig or 2Gig service, but it is also much quicker than the 2017 national average broadband rate of 18.75Mbps.
For most people, 200Mbps is plenty of bandwidth, even for large households. However, you’ll want to make sure you select the right router to go along with your new service to ensure that your router doesn’t hold you back and thus prevent you from geting the speeds you are paying for.
Here is a short checklist of features you should look for for use with your 200Mbps Internet. The RT-AC68U supports all of them.
The RT-AC68U has proven itself as a flagship router that can route packets at line rate (1000Mbps) without issue. This router will easily work if you end up upgrading to a Gigabit service in the future. This is good for people that like to make future-proof electronics purchases.
It is also a very stable router – It doesn’t need to be rebooted all the time, like some routers.
We also like the monitoring capabilities that can be accessed from the ASUS app on your smartphone. You can use the app to see what is going on on your network and who/what is using bandwidth.
Finally, we like that the router supports the ASUS AirMesh feature, which allows you to connect multiple ASUS routers to your network in order to increase Wi-Fi coverage in your home. This is helpful for people with large homes or people that have issues with dead spots in their home.
Make especially sure that you get a router with Gigabit Ethernet ports. Many of the older Wireless-N (802.11N) and Wireless-G (802.11B/G) routers are only equipped with 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports.
This means that the WAN port on the router can’t pass data any faster than 100Mbps. This would mean that you could only get half of the speed you are paying for if you end up using one of these routers with your 200Mbps service!
Many people think that they can just re-use an old router and it will work fine. That may be true, but in the current environment, broadband speeds are exploding.
No one used to show any concern about using a router limited at 100Mbps because broadband speeds were only in the 25-50Mbps range. Now that broadband speeds are quickly surpassing 100Mbps, you need to pay special attention to the maximum speed of the equipment on your local network, since it could quickly become the bottleneck instead of your internet connection.
This rule also applies to other devices on your local network. If you are using switches to distribute wired Ethernet to other parts of your home or to simply expand beyond the 4 wired ports provided by your router, you need to make sure that those switches also have Gigabit support.
Otherwise, you will max out at 100Mbps on any devices that connect through them.
Have you ever been away from home and needed to access something on your home computer or router?
It sure would be easier than driving/flying back to your home, or asking a friend or family member to go to your house to retrieve what you’re looking for.
Well, never fear. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of setting up your router for accessing it remotely via the Internet.
If you aren’t very tech savvy, be sure to stick around until the end of the article where I discuss an alternate method that works just as well, but is easier to setup.
There are many reasons someone would want to access their router from the Internet. Perhaps they need to change their Wi-Fi password for a roommate, set up remote access into their home network (called a VPN), or access files on a hard drive connected to their router.
Some people may not have a specific need to access their router from the Internet today, but they want to have the flexibility to do so in the future – since they know that they may well have the need at a later date.
Most routers have two different passwords – your WiFi password (which pretty much everyone is familiar with because they need to know it on a regular basis) and your admin password.
The admin password is what grants you access to the router’s management web interface, which is where you go to make changes to the router such as change/set IP addresses, change/set your WiFi network name (SSID), change/set your WiFi password, and much much more.
Most routers come out of the box with either a default password of something like ‘admin’ or ‘password’, which is very insecure. Some routers even have a blank admin password by default!
This isn’t a huge deal, because by default, the management interface is generally only accessible from a computer inside your network. However, we are about to enable access from the Internet, so you better believe it is important to change the password to something secure.
Find the private IP of your router and enter it into a web browser. This is usually 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, 10.0.1.1, or something similar (depends on the brand of your router). See here for help in identifying your router’s private IP.
Enter your admin username and password. If you didn’t change these when you originally installed the router, they are likely still at the defaults. The username is usually ‘admin’ or ‘administrator’ and the password is usually ‘admin’ or ‘password’ by default. Again, this totally differs depending on the router manufacturer and model. If you can’t find it, I recommend searching Google for “[router model] default password”.
Once you are logged in, you need to find the password setting. Usually there will be a “General”, “Admin”, or “Administrator” area of the settings, so try looking there. You may be able to change the username in addition to changing the password. This is recommended as it will greatly increase security. Just make sure you record it somewhere – if you forget it, you will have to reset the router to defaults to get back in.
Generally the setting will be called something like “Allow login from WAN” or “Allow login from Internet”, but it differs widely between routers. This setting will usually live in the Advanced Settings area of the management interface.
Again, if you can’t find it, try searching Google for “[router model] login from wan”.
This step is entirely optional and your router may or may not support this feature. While still logged in, look for “logging”, “notifications”, or a similar section. It will likely appear under the “Advanced Settings” area or the “Admin” area.
Enable any logging you desire. This will cause the router to log events, such as when someone logs in to the management interface. You may even be able to have the router email you a notification when someone logs in – again this varies wildly by model and manufacturer.
This type of information is helpful from a security standpoint – so you will know if someone else manages to log in to your router over the internet (which would be bad!).
I say “public” IP address, because your router actually has two IP addresses, and we are looking for the public IP, not the private IP.
Your IP address is exactly that – an address. It’s like your mailing address on the Internet. Your IP address is used anytime you want to send data to, or receive data from the Internet.
Since you are wanting to access your router from the Internet, you will need to know what your IP address is.
One way to find your public IP address, is to log in to your router and have it show you your public IP address.
Once logged in, look for a screen or tab labeled “Status”. Every router is a little bit different, so you may have to look around a bit.
The status page will usually show your router’s status, including the “WAN” or “Internet” IP address.
The other easy method for determining your public IP, is to query a website.
There are many “What is my IP address?” type websites out there that will examine the traffic that your computer sends to it when the page is loading, determine the IP address your traffic is originating from, and display that address for you.
Once you have obtained your public IP address, write it down somewhere or email it to yourself. You will need it later.
It is not uncommon for your IP address to change from time to time, or even daily. Most residential providers use DHCP instead of static addressing – this means they can change your public address allocation at any time.
Usually, this isn’t a big deal and most people don’t even notice that their IP has changed. However, when you are going to be accessing your router from the Internet, it is important to be aware that your address could change.
I’ve seen some ISP’s using DHCP and your IP address doesn’t change for months or even years. I’ve also seen some ISP’s change your address every day.
My current ISP is like this – my IP address changes every 24 hours like clockwork. Dynamic DNS is absolutely critical for me because of this.
Thus, if you are leaving for a trip and hoping to access your router from the road, it is best to record your public IP just before you leave the house to maximize your chances that that will still be the IP assigned to your router when you attempt login.
Just be aware that if your IP address changes between the time you recorded it and the time you attempt to login remotely, you will not be able to login.
For this reason, it is suggested to set up Dynamic DNS (DDNS), which will update automatically when your IP address changes. Thus, you will connect to your router using a hostname like “andrewshouse.no-ip.com” instead an IP address such as 73.48.231.17.
The DDNS server will automatically update the IP address that “andrewshouse.no-ip.com” resolves to every time it changes.
DDNS is an advanced topic and is only recommended to dabble in if you are a bit of an advanced user or if you are at least feeling adventurous!
If you want to be sure that remote login will work once you are away from home, it is best to test it beforehand.
To test, you will need to access a secondary internet connection other than your regular home broadband connection. This could be a neighbor’s house, using your internet connection at work, etc.
You could also temporarily enable the hotspot on your smartphone and tether your computer to it.
Open a web browser and enter your router’s public IP address (or DDNS fully qualified domain name) in the address bar, then press the enter key.
You should be presented with a login prompt. If you are not, try entering “http://” or “https://” before the address and press enter again. If it still doesn’t work, you may also need to append a colon and port number behind the address, such as “:8443”.
Once prompted, enter your management credentials and log in!
You are now ready to log in remotely. Regardless of where you travel to, as long as you have an Internet connection, you should be able to log in.
Hopefully you already tested your ability to login as shown above. The procedure for logging in when you are actually away from home will be the same.
If you are less techie and are simply looking for a solution that works, you may also want to research setting up remote access to a computer at your home via a service such as TeamViewer.
TeamViewer and similar services can be set up for free to access the computer in question over the internet.
The downside, is that the computer has to be left on and connected to your home network at all times in order to work.
The upside, is that it requires no special configuration on your router, and Dynamic DNS doesn’t need to be set up. Simply connect to the remote computer via the TeamViewer app on your smartphone, PC, or Mac, and TeamViewer takes care of the rest.
If you still needed to access your router, you could launch a web browser on the remote PC using TeamViewer, and then login to the router’s private IP address normally as if you were at home.
This solution is simpler, but also relies on TeamViewer to be working in order to function, so there are pros and cons for sure.
Regardless of which method you choose, Good luck!
Question: Does a better router improve internet speed?
Answer: Sometimes. It depends. It’s complicated!
There are at least three factors that impact someone’s perception of how fast or slow an internet connection is. To help make my point, think of your internet connection as a pipeline.
Think of the amount of bandwidth you have. This is the number advertised by your ISP in Megabits per second (Mbps).
Some people have 1 Mbps, others have 1000 Mbps. This is the size of your pipeline.The more bandwidth you have, the more data that can flow through it at the same time and the less it gets clogged up.
Remember to also consider upload speed as well as your download speed, as they can both make a difference.
The amount of bandwidth you have is certainly important, but it is not the only factor in determining the speed of your internet connection.
This is referred to as latency – it is a measurement of the time it takes data to go from your computer, through the internet to a remote server (Facebook, Netflix, etc), and then all the way back (round trip).
Is the data moving slowly like sludge through the pipeline, or is it moving quickly like pure water?
If data moves back and forth quickly (low latency), it is likely that someone would perceive that connection as very fast, even if it were only a 10Mbps connection.
The reverse of this is also true – someone could have a large pipe with slow flow and they wouldn’t feel that it is a very fast connection. The best example of this is Satellite Internet, such as HughesNet.
Many satellite internet plans provide decent bandwidth (usually somewhere around 25Mbps) but are still known to be quite slow. The reason for this, is due to the added time it takes the signal to go all the way up into space and then be bounced back down to earth.
This results in a large pipe/slow flow scenario, and as such, many people with this type of service are generally unhappy with it.
3. Are there leaks in your pipeline?
This is referring to the reliability of your internet connection and all of the pathways your data takes through the internet on its way to/from a remote server.
If there is an issue, either with your ISP or somewhere upstream from them, you may experience packet loss. Packet loss will definitely slow down your internet connection.
See, your computer is very intelligent and can sense when packet loss is occuring. When this happens, it has to re-request the missing data and wait for it to arrive again.
This delay, depending on its severity, is typically noticeable to the user as lag/slowness. Alternatively, if there is no packet loss, then there is no need for data to be re-transmitted. This can result in favorable speeds and saved bandwidth.
Now that we’ve covered the basics of the three of the ways that speed is observed, lets discuss factors that will actually impact your speed.
This is what happens when your pipeline gets full. It simply can’t move any more data simultaneously until either the size of the pipeline is increased, or the amount of existing data in the pipeline is reduced.
We’ve all noticed this before – a sudden burst of lag that occurs because someone else in the household is suddenly downloading or uploading a lot of data, like a movie or a game. This creates data contention issues, which is noticed as a slowdown.
Keep in mind that oversubscription could occur in your household (too many family members or roommates using the internet at the same time) or it could also occur at the ISP level – where there are too many customers eating up large amounts of data (usually during peak times of the day) and it ends up affecting other customers.
The internet is made up of thousands of pathways that connect various networks. In some instances, your data has to go through 20-30 routers before it reaches its intended destination (that is considered a lot of routers).
In other cases, maybe it only has to go through 8-10 routers. Generally speaking, the shorter the path your data has to take to reach its destination, the faster and more reliably it will get there.
These pathways are decided upon by your ISP.
If they have many connections to various upstream providers, including some direct connections (called peering arrangements) with major companies such as Apple, Google, Amazon etc – you will likely have a better experience than an ISP that only has one connection out to the internet.
Perhaps there are environmental issues impacting your Wireless performance. Maybe there is interference from too many people nearby on other Wi-Fi networks.
Maybe the guy next door uses a cordless phone or runs his microwave frequently (both of which can affect Wi-Fi). Or maybe the materials that your home is built out of is negatively impacting your signal.
There are technologies featured on newer routers such as beamforming, additional bands, etc that can overcome some of these environmental issues and deliver a better user experience.
Perhaps your old router only supports an older/slower wireless standard such as 802.11G or 802.11N, so upgrading to a newer standard such as 802.11AC will definitely give better data throughput and better range.
Additionally, many newer routers have quality of service (QoS) features that would make the internet connection feel faster/more reliable when data contention is in play.
Whatever type of test you run, just make sure that you are consistent in your testing. Run speed tests before and after each change and document the results.
Be sure to use the same computer and same browser each time you test. Use the same speed test website/server each time, and try to test at the same time each day, since speeds with some providers differ depending on the time of day.
If you are testing a wired connection, make sure your computer is disconnected from the wireless network before you start testing.
If your internet speeds are identical when you bypass your router, it is unlikely that upgrading your router will have any noticeable effect. Perhaps you should contact your ISP instead to see if there is a problem with your connection.
But, if your internet speeds improve when you bypass your router, there is a good chance that a new router will give you the better performance you are craving. | 2019-04-25T00:53:58 | https://www.infravio.com/category/routers/ |

Tonight singer-songwriter, Craig Cardiff, comes to play at KIAC. A tall-bearded man from Ontario, Craig has been traveling across Canada for more than a decade gaining a reputation for connecting even a room of strangers. I once saw him perform in a university bar and when the power went out the audience silenced the bar chatter so he could continue to perform, acoustically by candlelight. He led the room in song, unknowingly offering a group of friends (getting ready to part after four years) a fitting send-off. I know I wouldn’t be alone in saying that Cardiff knows how to make the room feel like you’ve never left home.
His lyrics are distilled stories of what he has lived and those he has gained from others. On his last tour he travelled with a notebook where audience members could write thoughts they had never told anyone. It’s been said his current album, LOVE IS LOUDER (than all the noise), is a response to these notes, as people wrote about those they loved, those parts of themselves they feared, and the ideas they have for their lives. His lyrics, which call attention to how life “is no dress rehearsal”, are always accompanied by his gentle and humorous performance style. I once saw him serenade a mannequin while two men were asked to interpretively act out his lyrics. It’s a sight to see, and I’ve never left a Cardiff show without feeling lighter than when I first came in.
While most locations throughout Canada have to contend with near thirty-dollar tickets to see his shows, tonight at KIAC you can see him for $5. Openers will be local performers, Jonathan Howe and Susu Robin. The show starts at 7:30 pm and tickets will be sold at the door. Don’t miss this (or the free song-writing circle at 5:30 pm for those looking to learn from his musical wisdom). | 2019-04-22T02:29:20 | https://kiac.ca/2015/08/28/craig-cardiff-comes-to-dawson-tonight-at-kiac/ |

Silver Valley is located on the north side of the Alouette River and is a gateway to popular recreation areas for residents and visitors alike and is rich with stunning views and access to fantastic trail networks.
The forested hillsides of this area contain an extensive trail network with spectacular views. The creeks and rivers that flow through Silver Valley provide some of the richest salmon habitat in the Lower Mainland, supporting populations of Chum, Coho and Pink Salmon as well Cutthroat and Steelhead Trout.
Two important, distinct vegetation communities are found within the Silver Valley area. The marshlands to the west are part of the Blaney Creek watershed and now represent part of the Greater Vancouver Regional District’s park system. The rock barrens are long-term natural clearings, with the thin soils located here, they are incapable of supporting forest cover.
Silver Valley is a growing residential area popular with equestrians so it is very common to see people riding horses here in Maple Ridge.
The UBC Malcolm Knapp Research Forest is home to the Loon Lake Lodge and Retreat Centre and contains black bear, cougar and black-tailed deer populations. As many as 26 species of birds have also been identified and the marshland to the west is an important wintering and breeding habitat for waterfowl.

According to our sources the French and Japanese car markers, which have been in alliance for years, are looking at becoming one corporation. If the merger went ahead, Carlos Ghosn, who is currently the chairman of Renault and Nissan, would run the new firm.
It’s far from certain that the deal will proceed. It would also need approval from the Japanese and the French governments. should they merge, however, their combined resources would create a serious competitor for auto sector leaders VW and Toyota. | 2019-04-21T20:13:08 | https://get247news.com/2018/03/29/renault-and-nissan-are-reportedly-in-talks-about-merging-together/ |
Some churches in Dallas and New York City—two of the most expensive American urban areas—have turned to commercial strategies to keep their doors open.
In Dallas, the White Rock United Methodist Church offers worship on Sundays and rents out the basement to businesses during the week. An African refugee group makes bags and other handicrafts in the space, for example.
One success is in-house yoga classes, according to Leila James, who’s been a member at White Rock for 44 years. “I attended the yoga class and I remember one day we got the giggles because we were just enjoying it so much and we thought, ‘Well, this is the way church should be. We should be able to have other aspects of our lives here,’” James said.
In the New York City neighborhood of Harlem, rising demand for real estate has led some churches to sell properties, while retaining land rights, to developers. The developers build condominium apartments, and the churches get rent for the land, and sometimes new or refurbished sanctuaries.
The Church of the Master, a Presbyterian congregation, “tore down its collapsing 1893 Victorian home, renovated an adjoining building and leased the ground under the former church to a developer, who built apartments,” according to Crain’s New York, a business newspaper. The group kept the land rights, which means the developer pays rent, keeping the congregation’s programs alive.
“The developers were not necessarily looking out for our interest, but we had people on our side who were,” church elder Rory Scott told the publication.
In other cities, including Salt Lake City, churches are also operating “co-working spaces” and other economic “incubators” to both serve the public and raise funds for operations. The reasoning is simple, it seems: A building that’s mostly empty five or six days of the week can be used for other purposes. So long as the businesses aren’t directly opposed to a congregation’s values (no pot dispensaries, please), it’s cast as a win-win for all concerned.
Should a Church Be a Business Incubator?
Or is it? Are churches supposed to be workday business hubs? Or are they designed to be soul-saving stations where those weary of the world’s deceptions can find refuge and restoration?
Well, let’s take a look at the Bible, and what Jesus told His followers to do. Perhaps we can find some guidance there.
In Matthew 28:19-20, we read these words, among the last spoken by Jesus before His ascension: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you” (NKJV).
There’s nothing there about renting out space for yoga classes or other non-Christian purposes, however useful those might be in a given community. Instead, believers are commissioned to bring others to faith in Jesus, to be taught to follow all the commandments of God. But even if renting out space to non-Christian businesses is acceptable, it’s important for churches to ensure that God’s house of worship doesn’t turn into a “den of thieves” (Luke 19:46).
One of the world’s best-loved Christian authors had this to say about the church’s purpose: “The church is God's appointed agency for the salvation of men. It was organized for service, and its mission is to carry the gospel to the world. From the beginning, it has been God's plan that through His church shall be reflected to the world His fullness and His sufficiency. The members of the church, those whom He has called out of darkness into His marvelous light, are to show forth His glory” (The Acts of the Apostles, p. 9).
Again, it’s not necessarily a bad idea for a congregation to get involved in economic development in their community, or even overseas. But the church building—if a congregation is fortunate enough to have one—should be the center of faith-building activities. Those will lead to an ultimate “return on investment” far greater than any cash dividend! | 2019-04-24T01:16:30 | https://www.sabbathtruth.com/free-resources/the-sabbath-blog/post/id/22301/t/churches-turn-to-business-for-survival |

Add a little more oil to the skillet and allow it to warm up. Then add chicken to pan and saute until cooked medium-high. Add cashews and saute for 1 minute.
Add the veggies and sauce to the skillet and bring to a boil to thicken the sauce. Serve over brown rice.
I recommend serving your cashew chicken stir fry over brown rice or rice noodles. We like to top it with gluten-free chow mein noodles as well! A little bit of red pepper is great if you like heat too. Depending on your dietary considerations, you can serve cashew chicken stir fry with egg rolls and sweet and sour sauce. You could also simply serve it with a side of fruit like mandarin oranges. Since the vegetables are incorporated into the meal you don’t need to serve a side of veggies. You may also want to serve fortune cookies with it as a fun treat! Try eating with chopsticks as a fun way to expose the kids to another culture’s ways of eating.
If you have leftover cashew chicken stir fry then store in an airtight container in the fridge. It makes great leftovers for lunch the next day! My kids even take it in their lunch to school because we use lava lunch pails that keeps it hot!
To reheat leftover cashew chicken stir fry place stir fry, and rice if desired, into a saute pan. Add a little bit of water and cover with a lid. Heat over medium heat until contents are heated through and warm. Eat immediately.
This looks absolutely amazing. I think my whole family would love it too which is a huge plus for me.
Yes, my whole family enjoyed it which is always a bonus!
Wow it looks yummy. I need to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing! | 2019-04-21T18:36:30 | https://musthavemom.com/best-cashew-chicken-stir-fry-recipe/ |

You’ve probably been attracted to the water if you’ve spent time outdoors. There are few more productive ways to enjoy time on the water then to go fishing. These are some excellent tips for you to use to ensure a great catch the next time you fish.
When you fish in a river or lake, casting near shore leads to optimal results. Fish that collect insects will coalesce in these areas, so cast your line near there. Just be sure to watch out for weeds!
The most fish are caught with natural live bait. Fish dine on the type of insects that inhabit the local environment. If you can catch them near the banks, then fish will be more likely to bite at it. The expensive lures that fisherman get generally offer more to the fisherman than for the fish.
It is a great idea for all fishermen to carry a scale when out on fishing trips. A scale is great to keep around so that you know if you’ve really caught a great big catch or not.
You must fish responsibly. Do not disturb the environment while you are fishing. Take any garbage you create from food and beverages with you. Know the regulations and limits for any fishing spot and adhere to them. You should also release fish that are too small to eat.
Making live bait more attractive to fish is as simple as making them fatter the night before your trip. Use a flat container lined with newspaper to store the worms, and place it in the refrigerator overnight. Cooler temperatures combined with higher humidity helps fatten worms.
When you are fishing on the bank, you must be extra careful not to set anything on fire. A lot of people actually smoke as they fish, and you don’t want to cause an accident and endanger yourself or anyone around you. While the bank might be damp, the leaves and debris nearby may be dry and easily able to catch fire.
Always remember to wet your line prior to tying on a knot. This will help reduce how much friction is put on the string when tying a knot. It also gives the knot strength. You may decide to tie a double fisherman’s knot or a clinch knot.
When you are fly fishing, try to avoid the wind. If the wind is too strong, accuracy with casting your line could be an issue. The best time for fly fishing is early in the morning or in the evening, when there’s less wind. If you go out and there is too much wind, fish with your back to the wind.
Do not panic if you hook a large fish. You will probably have to fight pretty hard to catch it, but don’t attempt to reel it in too quickly since you will risk breaking your rod. Instead, set the drag, and sit back. Let the fish exhaust itself by swimming around trying to get free; then you can reel in the fish with much less effort.
Be sure to check the weather prior to going on a fishing trip. Sometimes, the weather may not be suitable for fishing. The ideal fishing weather is an overcast day. While it is possible to catch fish in most weather conditions, overcast serves to give you the best chance to catch the most fish.
World-wide fishing has been enjoyed over the ages, both as a hobby and a profession. What you’ve read here can help improve your technique, allowing you to bring home your catch to be enjoyed by your family. | 2019-04-18T18:29:36 | http://alittlebitfishy.com/the-basics-of-fishing-at-night/ |
It’s around 7:00 A.M. on December 4, 1969, and attorney Jeff Haas is in a police lockup in Chicago, interviewing Fred Hampton’s fiancée. She is describing how the police pulled her from the room as Fred lay unconscious on their bed. She heard one officer say, “He’s still alive.” She then heard two shots. A second officer said, “He’s good and dead now.” She looks at Jeff and asks, “What can you do?” The Assassination of Fred Hampton is Haas’s personal account of how he and People’s Law Office partner Flint Taylor pursued Hampton’s assassins, ultimately prevailing over unlimited government resources and FBI conspiracy. Not only a story of justice delivered, the book puts Hampton in a new light as a dynamic community leader and an inspiration in the fight against injustice. | 2019-04-23T16:25:22 | http://www.whistlestoppers.com/anarchism/the-assassination-of-fred-hampton-how-the-fbi-and-the-chicago-police-murdered-a-black-panther |
THOSE who dismiss the legacy potential of the 2014 Commonwealth Games will have to digest significant food for thought.
The charity focus of the opening ceremony - £4m and rising for UNICEF's Putting Children First - should have gone some way to silence cynical critics. Scotland's record-shredding medal haul will encourage tens of thousands to consider exercise. Thirteen judo medals will have kids queuing at every dojo in the country. It will be the same at hundreds of other clubs in a range of sports.
I hope those who said this could not happen have not discouraged coaches and volunteers, and that there are enough to cope with the influx. This will surely drive up the current 70% of kids who meet the recommended one hour of daily activity, and the paltry 21% of adults who exercise vigorously for 15 minutes weekly. These are just a fraction of the statistics being monitored to gauge legacy impact.
Yesterday we saw the length of its reach: from the heart of Glasgow's Games to Kenya, where one of sport's most inspiring humanitarians has changed hundreds of lives. Kipchoge Keino is perhaps best known as a former Olympic and Commonwealth athletics champion: Olympic 1500m gold in 1968 and 1972 steeplechase. In 1966 he did the mile and three-mile double in Kingston, and in 1970 he won the Commonwealth 1500m in Edinburgh as the Games went metric. The Scottish allcomers' record he set there was broken at Hampden only this month - by a Kenyan.
If sporting prowess defined Keino's youth, spectacular philanthropy defines his 74 years. I've witnessed his incredible generosity of spirit first-hand, privileged to stay on his farm in Eldoret, where he established an orphanage which to date has fostered nearly 600 children. "They all call me 'Baba' - father." He feeds them off his land. "I hope to build a technological university there," he says.
Keino was an orphan, raised by an aunt, and has never forgotten. He discovered two starving children in 1965 when he was a young police officer. "They were naked, starving and eating soil," he recalled. "I took them home to my wife."
Phyllis, a nurse, brought them up as her own on their 500-acre farm. Their home is called Kaza Mingi, "a lot of work" in Swahili.
On the living room walls hang hundreds of photographs, mainly weddings, of the children they fostered. They include doctors, university lecturers, teachers, computer programmers, farmers, nurses, policemen and soldiers, businessmen. "They all started at the Kip Keino Children's Home as orphans," he says.
He describes some rescued from dustbins, toilets, and thickets, including Aids orphans and the abandoned offspring of prostitutes. "Many would have died because of bad health, starvation and disease, or killed by animals," he says.
If Oxfam had not installed a borehole, helping contain endemic illness, he might not have been healthy enough to be an athlete.
Some 280 pupils are in his high school, and 360 in the primary which bears his name. There is another school in Zimbabwe. When I visited Eldoret, the children were in immaculate uniforms and polite to a degree that would shame sectors of our society. Just as Keino's generosity of spirit shames many of the wealthy in our culture.
His foundation pays the fees and sends the brightest to university (18 currently being funded). "Education is the most important thing," he said.
We make no apology if some of this sounds familiar. One Herald article about him was read by Ed Monaghan of City Legacy, the consortium which built the Games Village in Dalmarnock. Yesterday he and Glasgow Lord Provost Sadie Docherty presented a £10,000 cheque to his Foundation in a ceremony at the City Chambers. It will reach into the heart of Africa, to mud huts where despair over Aids and anguish about starving, dying children abounds. Where kids die every wet season because parents cannot afford less than £1 to prevent malaria, and sell mosquito nets for pennies to buy food.
The consortium is also donating £300 for every house they build, worth a total of £90,000 to the Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice. "This is deliberately targeted legacy," said Mr Monaghan.
The fourth finisher in Sunday's men's marathon was an orphan, added Keino, "and we have others who are going to compete."
During a gracious and moving acknowledgement he said the money would go towards a library and dormitory.
Keino's first name, Kipchoge, tells precisely where he was born: "near the maize store," he explains. "It was in the open air."
He has a favourite aphorism: "I came into this word with nothing, and I leave this world with nothing. The most important thing is to help the needy children of our society to live like any other children."
Keino has travelled a remarkable journey: champion athlete, leader of his country's team here in Glasgow, chair of their national Olympic committee. I prefer to remember him simply as "Baba". | 2019-04-23T01:57:47 | https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/13172362.the-legacy-of-glasgows-games-will-reach-from-dalmarnock-to-the-heart-of-africa/ |

The head of Villa Tugendhat, Ing. arch. Iveta Černá, participated in the international conference “Mies Here and There” on January 21, 2012 at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) in Chicago. IIT and the Mies van der Rohe Society in the USA organised the exhibition “Villa Tugendhat” prepared by Iveta Černá, Dagmar Černoušková and Atelier Židlický in the Crown Hall in IIT (an authorial structure by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe). Iveta Černá and Ivo Hammer spoke about Villa Tugendhat and the final renewal work in Chicago with the participation of, amongst other people, the architect Dirk Lohan, the grandson of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The conference and exhibition about Villa Tugendhat met with great interest on the part of both the specialised and lay public and media (the Chicago Tribune, etc.). The exhibition “Vila Tugendhat” was also presented at the Czech consulate in Chicago. | 2019-04-21T10:48:29 | http://www.tugendhat.eu/en/the-international-conference-mies-here-and-there.html |
Mary Ellen has been in Malaysia for nearly two weeks working with Evangelical Presbyterian Church’s mission team there to develop prayer. In addition, Jeanne has been doing Ignites. The new exciting development is that she is being joined by Steve Strickler to offer them in Evangelical Presbyterian Church’s congregations.
These last two efforts, along with our upcoming missionary equipping event at the COC, represent a growing partnership with this vital, evangelical, reformed, and very open to the Holy Spirit, denomination.
This is just our Black Mountain ministry staff! When we include the rest of the Dunamis Fellowship International we see an ever greater, growing depth and expanding reach of PRMI supporting the world wide advancement of the Kingdom of God. Prayer is at the root of all this work for the glory of God. So please keep it up!
· and launching this equipping!
I have been pushing myself to the limits of endurance trying to lay the foundations for this equipping process for intercessors and spiritual warriors to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in defeating the demonic strongholds of Radcial Islam and advancing the Gospel of Jesus Christ into the entire Muslim world. This includes finishing the book. This last week Laura and I went out to Oklahoma to visit our daughter Elizabeth, her husband Adam and our three grandsons. I did a two-day seminar in their church entitled, “Praying for our Enemies.” The church is located right off the huge military base Fort Sill, which meant that most of the people in the congregation were either retired or active military. This was a perfect location to start to develop this teaching of defeating radical Islam for a congregational setting.
I went to Oklahoma with a bad cold that just was not getting any better and finally went to the doctor who announced that I had a “nasty case of pneumonia.” It is by the grace of God alone and a tribute to the empowering work of the Holy Spirit that I was able to teach and preach at all. Thanks to the many of you who prayed both healing but also anointing to teach. The Lord came through wonderfully! I am still not fully recovered.
Are you called by Jesus Christ to join the army of intercessors to work with the Holy Spirit to defeat Radical Islam and advance the Gospel into the entire Muslim World?
The goal that is before me is to, in the next couple of years – I hope and pray before it is too late – do PRMI’s part in enabling this army of intercessors to reach the level of readiness and maturity that will be needed to sustain extended prayer. We need to persevere for as long as it takes to pray through to the victory in each engagement into which we are called, with the recognition that each engagement may last for hours, days, weeks or even months. Our goal is that by joining with the global movement of prayer and advancing the Kingdom of God that Satan’s plans are thwarted and that instead God’s plans for reaching the Muslim world with the Gospel are fulfilled.
As part of this equipping, we are recruiting those of you who may be called into growing as intercessors and spiritual warfare, to join in two equipping events: Mountain Top Equipping Camp at the COC, August 9-13, 2016 and Jerusalem Prayer Endeavor – November 8-19, 2016.
Both equipping events are by application and invitation. Please speak to the Lord about whether He is calling you to take part in either of these events. Cindy and Mary Ellen are ready to join you in the discernment process of whether you are called to take part in these two equipping events. Out of these two events I believe the Holy Spirit’s plan is to raise up others who can take the torch of high level intercessory prayer and spiritual warfare from me and others to not only engage in the frontlines but to be able to join us in equipping others for the battle.
Moses on the Mountain supported by Aaron and Hur with Joshua in the valley fighting at the Battle of Amalek–a model of the prayer we are called to in order to defeat the strongholds of Radical Islam.
How do we join the battle for souls and against demonic strongholds? Moses, Aaron and Hur modeled different roles, all involving intercession. Are you a front-line intercessor? A personal intercessor for those doing that front-line engagement? Does God use you to gather information to inform others’ intercession? Whatever your role, consider joining us to be equipped for your vital role.
Worship, prayer, teaching, and fellowship at the Community of the Cross will be the context for this course giving practical instruction on how to apply the strategies and tactics for defeating the demonic strongholds of Radial Islam and advancing the Kingdom of God into the entire Muslim World, as laid out in Brad Long’s upcoming book “Prayer Strategy for the Victory of Jesus Christ: Defeating Demonic Strongholds of ISIS and Radical Islam”.
• Those who have a burden to do something about the evil of Radical Islam that we see growing in the world.
• Those already called into intercessory prayer and spiritual warfare who need to grow in this work.
• Those who, just as Aaron and Hur supported Moses, are called to be supportive of those intercessors and spiritual warriors who are called to the front lines.
• Those called to mobilize, equip and deploy intercessory prayer teams to engage in this work.
1) Completion of Unit #1 and Unit #2 of the Dunamis Project (Gateways and In the Spirit’s Power). If you have not attended these events, we recommend completing the self-study courses online.
2) Submission of completed application. Applications will be reviewed by Mary Ellen Conners, PRMI Prayer Coordinator and Cindy Strickler, Director of the Dunamis Fellowship International and on acceptance to the course, an invitation will be extended to you to register for the course.
3) Recommended: Read the book A Prayer Strategy for the Victory of Jesus Christ available soon from Amazon.
On site application of the strategies and tactics of intercession and spiritual warfare. Learn the tactics and return ready to lead engaging in this great battle of our time. This prayer endeavor is part of the PRMI Prayer Strategy and in the fulfillment of our first vision initiative – prayer.
Focus of Intercession: praying “Thy Kingdom Come” for the advance of the Gospel.
Praying for four great moves of the Holy Spirit that are converging in Jerusalem and “closing the ring” around Islam and moving toward fulfilling the Great Commission.
1. The move of the Holy Spirit bringing Jews to faith in Jesus Christ.
2. The role of the “people who use chopsticks” (Chinese, Koreans and Japanese) whom God is calling to join in evangelizing Muslims.
3. Within the Western Church, Africa, English speaking world, a move of the Holy Spirit closing the circle around the Islamic world.
4. The move of the Holy Spirit bringing Muslims to faith in Jesus Christ.
First Scheme: Replacement of God’s way of salvation with the deception of Islam.
Second Scheme: Exterminate Jews and Christians in order to replace Yahweh’s Covenant.
Third Scheme: Strangle the winds of the Holy Spirit blowing in the house of Islam.
Fourth Scheme: Establish a Radical Islamic caliphate from which to wage offensive jihad and impose Islamic hegemony through Sharia Law.
This will be both a training mission as well as actual engagements in intercession and spiritual warfare. The purpose is to provide the context for practical instruction in strategies and tactics with the ability to move with the Holy Spirit into on site engagements as led by Jesus Christ.
1. Doing the intercessory prayer and spiritual warfare on site in Jerusalem as led by Jesus Christ to fit into his plans as needed at the time.
3. To equip intercessors and spiritual warriors through on-the-battlefield engagements, with the tactics and strategies of cooperating with Jesus Christ in advancing the Gospel and defeating the demonic strongholds of Radial Islam.
4. To develop in the battlefield situation both the skills and teaching manuals to lead others into the mastery and application of the tactics.
· Those who have a burden to do something about the evil of Radial Islam that we see growing in the world.
· Those already called into intercessory prayer and spiritual warfare who need to grow in this work.
· For those who, just as Aaron and Hur supported Moses, are called to be supportive of those intercessors and spiritual warriors who are called to the front lines.
· For those called to mobilize, equip and deploy intercessory prayer teams to engage in this work.
Because of the dangers of this topic, participation in this course is by application and invitation.
If you believe the Holy Spirit is calling you to take part in this equipping then please fill out the simple application making a request to be invited. This will be evaluated by PRMI Prayer Coordinator, Mary Ellen Conners, and the Director of the Dunamis Fellowship International, Cindy Strickler. They will be joining you in discerning your call to participate in this particular trip. In addition you may contact Cindy Strickler at cindy@prmi.org and ask for help in discerning if this is for you and if you are to be on this team. Act quickly as there is room for only 20 for this special prayer endeavor.
All of these events are working together to help build and deploy an army of Intercessors for praying “Thy Kingdom Come,” an army cooperating with Jesus Christ in defeating demonic strongholds and advancing the Kingdom of God in fulfillment of the Great Commission.
Please seek Jesus about these two strategic events. Also please keep up the prayer work! Ask the Lord for strong protection and also pray that he will give us all the provision – spiritual and financial – needed for this ministry. Jesus is Lord and Jesus is Victor! As always, please let me know if you have any discernment or guidance.
Perhaps some of you may be called to take part or pray for this intercessory prayer trip to Israel sponsored by The Fourth River Project associated with Jesus Abbey. This is a ten-day tour of Israel with a focus on prayer for healing and reconciliation in the Holy Land and in the divided nation of Korea.

One of the more recent works I have done for an upcoming retail space in Dempsey called TheHaat, owned by DempseyHaat. They use Oosh’s premises for their F&B as well. New concept not to be missed in Singapore, especially for those looking for a new place to shop & who have families in tow. | 2019-04-18T11:20:50 | http://louisakoh.com/tag/copywriting/ |
